Preliminary round

edit

The preliminary round began on August 11, 2024, with the opening gameday held at Strike Gymnasium in Bacoor, Cavite.[7] The opening game that day is a rematch of last season's finals between the runner-up Negros Blue Hawks and the defending champion Bacoor City Strikers in their home venue.

The preliminary round will now utilize a double round-robin tournament format, where each team will play two games against all other teams. Each team is expected to play sixteen games this season. Only the top four teams will advance to the final round, which is halved from the previous season's eight teams.[2]

Pool standing procedure

edit
  • First, teams are ranked by the number of match points, wherein:
    • Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
    • Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
  • If the number of match points is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match wins.
  • In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
  1. Set ratio: number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
  2. Setpoint ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
  3. Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.

Final round

edit

In the semifinals, the top two teams will gain a twice-to-beat advantage over their opponents. The losers of the semifinals series will compete in a single bronze medal match while the winners compete in a best-of-three finals series. If a team goes undefeated in the preliminary round, the final round will switch to a stepladder format similar to collegiate sports.
