PBA Philippine Cup chronology
PBA conference chronology

The 2010-11 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup was the first conference of the 2010-11 PBA season. The tournament started on October 3, 2010, with the new team, Meralco Bolts defeating the Brgy. Ginebra Kings in the opening game.[1] The tournament is an All-Filipino format, which doesn't require an import or a pure-foreign player for each team.

Format

The following format was observed for the duration of the conference:[2]

  • The teams were divided into 2 groups.[3]
  • Teams in a group will play against each other once and against teams in the other group twice; 14 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records. Ties are broken among point differentials of the tied teams. Standings will be determined in one league table; teams do not qualify by basis of groupings. The top eight teams will advance to the quarterfinals.
  • Quarterfinal phase:
    • QF1: #1 vs. #8, with #1 having the twice-to-beat advantage
    • QF2: #2 vs. #7, with #2 having the twice-to-beat advantage
    • QF3: #3 vs. #6 in a best-of three series
    • QF4: #4 vs. #5 in a best-of three series
  • Best-of-seven semifinals:
    • SF1: QF1 vs. QF4
    • SF2: QF2 vs. QF3
  • Best-of-seven finals: winners of the semifinals.
