UAAP basketball championships

The UAAP basketball championships are basketball tournaments held from September to December by the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, and the men's tournament is the flagship tournament of the UAAP. Basketball is a mandatory sport for all schools. All eight universities participate in the men's, women's, and high school (boys') tournaments.

History

The tournament is divided into two divisions, the collegiate' division, which is further subdivided into the men's tournament, for male collegiate players, and the women's tournament for female collegiate players. The other division is the high school division which is also subdivided into two tournaments for the male and female high school athletes.

The UAAP basketball sport has a rich history of schools establishing dynasties. UE won a record seven consecutive basketball titles from 1965 to 1971 albeit the third one was a shared championship with UST. Ateneo had a 5-year winning streak from 2008 to 2012. Two other schools ended their championship streak at four. UST won it from 1993 to 1996 and La Salle from 1998 to 2001.

The championship in basketball is the most coveted title that schools aspire for during a UAAP season and is one of the most anticipated live TV sporting events in the Philippines, but such aspirations have resulted in many controversies in the association. There are protests filed by the member-schools against one another almost every season. Ironically, the association has a handbook of its rules and regulations.

Tournament format

Pre-first expansion format

Before the UAAP's first expansion, teams would play a single round robin where the team with the best record would be crowned champions. If two or more teams are tied, they would be declared co-champions. No quotient system or knockout games were used to break ties.

First expansion format

Teams play a double round robin. The winner of the first round play the winner of the second round in a 1-game championship to determine the champion. Ties for round winners are broken by knockout games.

If a team wins both rounds, it is automatically declared the champion, regardless if it was a sweep or not. If a team fails to win either rounds, but ends up with a better over-all record than either of the round winners, that team will challenge the second round winner for a championship slot against the first round winner.

Second and third expansion format

Teams play a double round robin. The top two teams (over-all record) after the double round robin play in the Finals with the No. 1 seed holding a twice-to-beat advantage. If a team sweeps the double round robin, they are automatically declared champions.

Final four format
Main article: UAAP Final Four

The tournament currently uses the Final Four format, first implemented in 1993. The Tournament begins with a double round-robin elimination, where a team plays the other teams twice to determine which teams will qualify for the semi-finals (also called Final Four). The top four finishers enter the Final Four phase.

Sweeper's advantage

Previously, if a team sweeps the double round robin, they are automatically declared champions. However, after UST's sweep in 1993, it was modified so that the sweeping team would automatically qualify for the best-of-three Finals. After UE swept their way to the Finals in 2007, it was again modified so that the sweeping team would now automatically qualify for a best-of-five Finals, holding a 1–0 game advantage.

Regular final four

If no team sweeps the double round eliminations, the four top teams (and tiebreakers, if applicable) qualify for the regular postseason.

The regular post-season is divided into the semi-finals (also called Final Four) and the Finals. In the semi-Finals, the two top seeds (Nos. 1 & 2) have a twice-to-beat advantage against the lower seeds (Nos. 3 & 4).

The surviving teams face off in a best-of-three finals, where the team which notches two wins first wins the championship.

Step ladder final four

From 2008 to 2015, if a team wins all of the games in the group stage, the step ladder format is used, where the unbeaten team has a bye up to the best-of-5 finals holding a 1–0 game advantage. The third and fourth seed will figure in a knockout game; the winner of that game will face the second seed with a twice-to-win disadvantage. The surviving team meets the first seed at the Finals. The format was modified in 2016, where the unbeaten team proceeds to the best-of-3 finals without any playoff advantage, but the knockout games in all of the three semifinal seeds remain in place.

Notes
  1. During the 1-game championship, the game was declared as a no contest prior to the third quarter as both coaches refused to issue to the officials their respective starting lineups for the third quarter. The UAAP Board later ruled the championship series as a tie and declared UE and UST as co-champions.
  2. UE's juniors' division championship win was overturned after it was discovered that the team had over-aged players.
  3. Prior to 1980, the UST "Nuggets" had 6 UAAP Juniors titles.
  4. Top seeded teams Adamson and UE's wins were forfeited after it was discovered that the teams had over-aged players.
  5. De La Salle, holding a twice-to-beat advantage in the finals, defeated FEU. DLSU had a player with 5 fouls within the game for a very brief period. The table officials had mistakenly allowed the player to stay in the court for less than 10 seconds. FEU protested the game within the prescribed period and a replay was ordered by the UAAP Board. FEU was given the title after De La Salle failed to appear on the replay date. The controversy was elevated to the FIBA and BAP which sided with La Salle. FEU needed to win one more game after this. However, the board's lack of organization decided to hand over the Tamaraws the controversial title.
  6. De La Salle admitted to have unknowingly fielded two ineligible players for the previous 3 years, from 2003-2005. However, the admission was made months after learning about the ineligibility. The UAAP Board forfeited their 2004-05 championship title and had to return their trophy. As a result, FEU was awarded the men's basketball championship for the 2004-2005 season. De La Salle team standings from 2003-2005 were revoked and De La Salle was suspended in the 2006-07 season from all UAAP events.[3]
  7. The UAAP Board decided to declare both Adamson and UST as co-champions after they decided to cancel the rest of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Rookie of the Year

Prior to 2005, all players playing in their first year (including transfers and those elevated from "team B") are eligible for the award.

In Season 68, the rule covering the collegiate division was changed. Only fresh high school graduates are eligible. The exception was in UAAP Season 85 when those enrolled in 2021, along with those enrolled in 2022 or fresh high school graduates, are eligible for the award at the collegiate level. Similarly, in the same season, adjustments were also implemented in the high school division where only those aged 17 and below will be eligible for the same award.
