THE Pilipinas Super League President’s Cup has just gotten bigger and stronger with at least 18 professional teams seeing action starting tomorrow at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Newly-appointed league commissioner Allan Caidic laid down the tournament details in yesterday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Also on hand were PSL president Chris Bautista, CEO Bong Baribar and marketing head Bearwin Moily.
Caidic, the former PBA superstar who donned the national colors countless times, said two more teams are trying to squeeze in and join those from Cainta, Manila, Quezon, Pampanga, Davao, Novaliches, Makati, Mindoro, Aklan, San Juan, Pampanga, Camarines Norte and Quezon City.
After a single-round elimination, the top 16 teams will advance with the top eight enjoying a twice-to-beat advantage, leading to the quarterfinals and the best-of-three semis and best-of-three finals.
Manila and Cainta will collide on opening day that will also feature a mini-concert from Bamboo.
