The league's first game started on July 29, 2013, coinciding the 9th Anniversary Celebration of UNTV.[3] As an amateur league, UNTV Cup is using the FIBA rules as its House Rules which is being used in world basketball and Olympics according to Mr. Raffy Britanico,[4] officiating head of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), a basketball association in the Philippines.

Its first season was held at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines.[5] Fortunato Co serves as the commissioner of the basketball league. Following the success of its first season, UNTV Cup season two was opened on February 11, 2014, at the same venue with newly added public service booths of each participating teams/government agencies. An off-season game was opened on August 21, 2014, with the three branches of the Philippine government: Judiciary, Legislative an Executive teams. Also with Media Team (Team ni Kuya) will also play to complete the set of players.

UNTV Cup is an original concept by Daniel Razon[6] tagged as Mr. Public Service[7] and materialized by UNTV widely known as public service television station[8] in the Philippines. He is the chairman and CEO of BMPI-UNTV, the organization behind the UNTV Cup.

Regular games are usually held at the Paco Arena in Manila City and Novadeci Convention Center in Quezon City, with a live telecast on the UNTV Public Service channel every Sunday and Thursday afternoon.

Competition format

edit

Regular season

edit

Elimination rounds

edit

UNTV Cup's regular season runs from September or October to March of the following year. Regardless of the number of teams, they are divided into two groups for the first round of eliminations. Each team will face all other teams in the same group once. After all the first-round games are played, the bottom two teams of both groups are eliminated for the season, and the remaining teams advance to the second round of eliminations.

All teams that advanced are combined into one group, and there will be a crossover where each team will play against all the teams they were not grouped with in the first round. After the single round robin games in the second phase of eliminations, the bottom two teams will be eliminated for the season, and the remaining teams qualify for the playoffs.

If teams have identical win-loss records in the standings, regardless of the phase of the competition, the official tiebreaker procedure is as follows:

  1. Largest point differential in head-to-head matches among tied teams
  2. Winner of head-to-head matches among tied teams

Playoffs

edit

The top two teams in the standings advance to the semifinals, while the remaining teams play each other again once in the quarterfinals. The two teams at the top of the standings after the round robin quarterfinals goes to the semifinals, while the other teams are eliminated.

In the semifinals, the matchups are #1 versus #4 and #2 versus #3, where the higher seeds have a twice-to-beat advantage. The semifinal winners will then meet in the best-of-three Finals, while the semifinal losers will play for a third-place game.

The first team to get two wins in the Finals are declared champions and get the largest money to donate to their chosen beneficiaries.

Executive Face Off

edit

The Executive Face Off usually does not coincide with the regular season, and it runs from May to July. The duration is shorter due to fewer entrants than the regular tournament, and so the teams are considered as one group. All teams will play a single round robin where they face each other team once.

After the elimination round games, only the top four teams will advance to the semifinals, where #1 meets #4 and #2 plays #3. The higher seeds will have a twice-to-beat advantage. The semifinal winners will then meet in the best-of-three Finals for a chance to get the championship and the biggest money to give to their chosen beneficiaries.  

Teams

edit

The UNTV Cup started in 2013 with 7 teams. The number of teams differ by season since government agencies voluntarily apply. Each season, participating teams are divided into two groups for the elimination round, but it is not publicly revealed how the selection process for groups is performed.

Government agencies are urged to join and will not have to pay a joining fee. Instead, the teams are given free uniforms by the league, and beneficiaries are given the prize whatever round the teams finished.[9]

For the Executive Face Off editions, players must be executives aged 40 years old and above.

Including Season 10, there have been 25 teams in the history of the league.
