PBA Philippine Cup chronology
PBA conference chronology

The 2011–12 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup is the first conference of the 2011–12 PBA season. The tournament started on October 2, 2011, with Rain or Shine Elasto Painters against Barangay Ginebra Kings as the opening game.[1] The tournament is an All-Filipino format, which does not require an import or a pure-foreign player for each team.

Format

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

  • Two-round eliminations, with each team playing 14 games. The teams are divided into two groups on the basis of their draft order prior to the trades. Each team will play teams within their group once, while they will play teams from the other group twice.
  • Top eight teams will advance to the quarterfinals. In case of tie, playoffs will be held only for the #2 and #8 seeds.
  • Quarterfinals:
    • QF1: #1 seed vs #8 seed (#1 seed twice-to-beat)
