Previously , the PBA also had one-game playoffs to determine the Finals participant . This happened when the semifinal round is a round robin format , and where there are two or more teams tied for the second seed , or if a team won a certain number of semifinal round games , but did not finish in the top two berths . Each season had at least one such game . In the 1993 PBA Governors ' Cup , there were two such games : to break the deadlock for the second seed , in which the winner faced the team with the best semifinal round record
