PBA conference chronology

The 2014 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors' Cup, also known as the 2014 PLDT Home TelPad-PBA Governors' Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the third and last conference of the 2013–14 PBA season. The conference began on May 18 and ended on July 9, 2014.

The tournament is an import-laden format, which requires an import or a pure-foreign player for each team, The recruited imports must be not taller than 6 feet and 5 inches for every team.

Games in the tournament are televised by TV5 and AksyonTV; games are also being simulcast in high definition through a special channel exclusive to Cignal Digital TV subscribers.[1][2]

Format

The tournament format for this conference is as follows:[3]

Due to the need to finish the season and the tournament by June in order for the Gilas Pilipinas team to train for the upcoming FIBA Asia Cup in July, the FIBA World Cup in August and the Asian Games in September, the league had six playing dates per week and the quotient system was implemented for tiebreakers, instead of playoff games for the #4 and #8 seeds.[3]
