The usual UAAP tournament format for tournaments having all eight teams will be followed: • Double round eliminations; top four teams advance to the playoffs • If there is a tie for second or fourth, a
one-game playoff will be held • If a team wins all elimination round games: • #1 seed advance to the finals outright • #2 seed advance to the second round of the stepladder semifinals with the
twice-to-beat advantage; winner advances to the finals • #3 and #4 seeds advance to the first round of the stepladder semifinals in a
one-game playoff; winner advances to the second round • If no team wins all elimination round games: • #1 with the twice-to-beat advantage vs #4 seed in the semifinals • #2 with the twice-to-beat advantage vs #3 seed in the semifinals • The finals is a
best-of-three series. ==Teams==
