The Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup is the biggest pre-season collegiate basketball tournament in the Philippines. It is organized by Filoil Flying V Sports. It gathers teams mainly from the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), but also include some invited teams such as the RP Youth under-18 team and teams from other leagues, in a basketball tournament just before the start of the collegiate season.
History
It was first held as a post-season tournament in 2006 where it was named Homegrown Invitational Cup. Starting in 2007, Filoil Flying V Sports decided to hold it every summer and it was subsequently known as Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup. The De La Salle Green Archers won the first two editions of the tournament.[1] Teams from the UAAP has since then, dominated the tournament, winning 4 of the first 5 seasons. The tournament has been aired on television by coverage partner, ABS-CBN Sports, through ABS-CBN Sports+Action until 2016.
Tournament format
Its format consists of dividing the teams into 2 groups featuring single round robin elimination games among teams of the same group to determine the playoff teams. The playoffs feature a crossover format, with the top seeds of each group facing off against the 4th seed of their opposites and the 2nd seeds slugging it out with the opposite side’s 3rd seeds until a champion is determined.
