The semifinals consists of two rounds of single-elimination.
Since San Beda swept the elimination round, the Finals is a de facto best of five series with San Beda automatically leading 1âÂÂ0. Therefore, San Beda has to win twice, while Arellano needed thrice, to win the championship.
The NCAA Management Committee, chaired by Melchor Divina of Mapua, upheld the recommendation of commissioner Arturo Cristobal forfeiting La Salle-Greenhillsâ 88âÂÂ49 victory over Letran. LSGH's Jesmar Pedrosa, Alain Madrigal and Ladis Lepalam wore Nos. 20, 28 and 27, respectively, which violated a league rule limiting the use of jersey numbers to Nos. 4 to 19.
