PBA determined to end season before Christmas

MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine Basketball Association is determined to wrap up its 45th season before Christmas, in the hopes of starting the new season in a more "normal" format.

Games are tipped to start on October 9, with double-headers scheduled daily. Teams will play a single round robin elimination round, with the top four seeds earning a twice-to-beat bonus in the quarterfinals. The semifinals will be a best-of-5 affair, while the Finals will be best-of-7. According to PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial, even if the restart of the season is delayed, they will still end before Christmas.

"We also would like to go back to normal," Vargas explained. "We can start the new conference, the new season as early as possible."The PBA submitted its request to the IATF to resume its season in the Clark bubble on Friday. According to Vargas, they are being supported by Vince Dizon, the president of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority and the testing czar of the IATF, as well as Noel Maninkil, the chief executive officer of the Clark Development Corporation.
