MPBL seasons

The 2018–19 MPBL Datu Cup was the second tournament of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League and the first full season with a national scope. The tournament is patterned after the current format of the National Basketball Association of the United States and the now-defunct Metropolitan Basketball Association in the Philippines, which it is divided into two divisions: The Northern and the Southern Divisions. A record of 26 teams played in the conference,[2] which ran for over 10 months, according to league commissioner Kenneth Duremdes. The almost year-long conference opened on June 12, 2018, which coincided with the Philippine Independence Day at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City and ended with the final game of the MPBL Finals on April 25, 2019 where San Juan Knights prevailed over the Davao Occidental Tigers, 3 games to 2.

Format[]

The format for the cup was:

  • All 26 teams will be divided into two conferences or groups: the North and South Divisions, which consist 13 teams each.
  • In the regular season, teams will play in a single round-robin format, with each team playing 25 games, in a home-and-away basis. Though divided into two groups, teams will still play in a round-robin.
  • At the end of the regular season, the top eight teams in each conference will qualify for the playoffs. The top four teams in each conference will earn home-court advantage through the division playoffs. Additionally, the team with the league's best record will hold home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, including the national finals (if they can make it as far as there).
  • For the playoffs, the first round, division semifinals, and the division finals will be a best-of-3 series, while the MPBL Finals will be a best-of-5 series.
  • For the first round, the following will be the home-and-away format: 1 & 2 Seeds - home - neutral - home (if necessary), 3 & 4 Seeds - neutral - home - neutral (if necessary), 5 & 6 Seeds - neutral - away - neutral (if necessary), and 7 & 8 Seeds - away - neutral - away (if necessary).

Matches with lighter background shading were decided after overtime.
Notes:
  1. ^ Forfeited in favor of Bacoor; game originally ended with Parañaque winning 82–81, but a referee upgraded a two-point field-goal of Parañaque to a three-point field-goal. The league ruled that the referee ruled in error, ordered the game to be replayed at 81–all, starting in overtime, but Parañaque failed to show up in the replayed game.[3]
