Seeding playoffs
The top 5 teams are separated by 1 game.
JRU, Mapua and Arellano were tied for third to fifth; a series of playoffs were held. JRU had the bye as the team with the best head-to-head record among the three:
Mapua and Arellano played for the #4 seed; the loser is eliminated; the winner advances to the third-seed playoff, and is guaranteed no less than a #4 seed
JRU waited for the third-seed playoff; the winner gets the #3 seed, while the loser is the #4 seed
First–seed playoff
Letran and San Beda were tied for first and second; a playoff was held to determine which will be the #1 seed.
Winner faces the #4 seed, while the loser faces the #3 seed. Both still have the twice-to-beat advantage in the semifinals.

As San Beda won all of their elimination round games, the stepladder format will be used instead of the regular Final Four format.
LSGH's first round win against Letran was forfeited after three of its players were ruled to be ineligible for wearing uniform numbers outside the league-mandated 4 to 19.
Source: Legend: Blue = left column team win; Red = top row team win. Matches with lighter background shading were decided after overtime. Notes:
LSGH originally won 88–49; the NCAA Management Committee upheld Letran's protest of the game after three LSGH players were ineligible for wearing uniform numbers outside of the league-mandated 4 to 19.
Since San Beda swept the elimination round, the Finals is a de facto best of five series with San Beda automatically leading 1–0. Therefore, San Beda has to win twice, while Arellano needed thrice, to win the championship.

Controversies
Wrong uniform
The NCAA Management Committee, chaired by Melchor Divina of Mapua, upheld the recommendation of commissioner Arturo Cristobal forfeiting La Salle-Greenhills’ 88–49 victory over Letran. LSGH's Jesmar Pedrosa, Alain Madrigal and Ladis Lepalam wore Nos. 20, 28 and 27, respectively, which violated a league rule limiting the use of jersey numbers to Nos. 4 to 19.
