UAAP calendar. The national championship returned in 2017 and adopted an elite-eight tournament format. The top two teams from UAAP and NCAA, together with the CESAFI champion were seeded automatically. The three remaining slots were given to the champions of the Luzon, NCR and Mindanao regional tournaments. In 2018, changes in the tournament format were made to give provincial teams a fair chance to be in the championship round. The champions of UAAP and NCAA were placed in a separate group while the rest of the qualified teams, including the CESAFI champion will be placed in a separate tournament group that will first determine the champions for North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The eventual winner of this group will face-off with the winner of the UAAP/NCAA group to determine the national champion. From 2017 to 2018, the PCCL held its 3x3 basketball tournament, in parallel to its regular national championship. The PCCL's version of its 3x3 tournament has similar rules with the BIG3 tournament. Regional 3x3 tournaments were held in North and South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. In 2018, the official FIBA 3x3 rules were followed.
