: ''This article is about the NCAA Philippines Basketball Championship. For the ongoing 2015-2016 tournament, see NCAA Season 91. For a list of champions, see List of NCAA Philippines basketball champions. For the American counterpart, see NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.'' The National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament is held every first semester of the academic year (from June up to October). Each year, eight schools vie to win the two championships: the Juniors and Seniors. If a school wins both championships in one season, it said that they have won the "double championship." The tournament commences with a double-round robin of eliminations, where the four teams with the best records advance to the semifinals, with the two top seeds clinching the twice to beat advantage. The winners in the semifinals meet in a best-of-3 Finals series, in order to determine the champion. The championship is continually contested since the league's foundation in 1924, except during World War II and the mid-1960s when scandals rocked the league. The athletic nicknames of the different teams variously came from the school's founders, or from a distinct quality that separated a school from the others. Notably, the first champion of this event was crowned in 1925, 14 years before the U.S. NCAA tournament was instituted. ==Tournament format== Since 1996, the eight member schools have fielded their varsity teams in a double round elimination tournament, where the schools play each other twice. The four teams with the best records advance to the crossover semifinals, popularly known as the Final Four. The two top teams have a twice to beat advantage. The lower ranked teams need to win twice against the higher ranked teams to advance to the best-of-three Finals, where the first team to reach two wins becomes the NCAA basketball champion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NCAA Basketball Championship (Philippines)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
