Unlike in recent conferences, the semis will be played in a single-round robin format.
All four teams will get a chance to play each other over the next week, with matches slated at the Philsports Arena in Pasig and at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
How does this format work?
The top two teams by the end of semis play will advance to the best-of-three championship series, sending the bottom two to a one-game battle for third.
Should there be a tie for the No. 2 position by the end of all semis matches, a winner-take-all knockout game will determine which team takes the last spot in the finals.
Statistical tiebreakers will then come to play in the event of a triple tie, which includes total match points, set ratio and set points ratio.
This will only be the Chargers’ second semis appearance after reaching the finals in last year’s Reinforced Conference where it lost to Creamline in the knockout title game.
The Flying Titans are onto their third semis stint in the last four conferences, whereas their sister team Cool Smashers entered the top four for the 17th time in as many conferences since the league was formed in 2017.
For the fourth semifinalist and two-time PVL champions Angels, this becomes their ninth appearance in the Final Four.
Semis action begins on Mar. 29, Saturday in Antipolo, with Choco Mucho and Akari raising the curtains at 4 p.m. followed by longtime title rivals Creamline and Petro Gazz at 6:30 p.m.
