why should one or fifteen guys who lost six games…
going into the finals be allowed to grab…
the University
Athletic Association of the Philippine…
men’s championship trophy on
account of two wins against the team…
which has accumulated zero losses?
“this is so ridiculous”
a bad rule...
we learned that the so-called “Final Four” rule…
was adopted by the
UAAP Board shortly after University of Santo Tomas…
won championship in 1993 without similar sweep.
under this rule…
the last top four
teams are needed to face off in what is called a cross-over phase…
team one is to play team against team four, and team two is
arrayed against team three…
the two teams that win in the final four are to face each
other in the best-of-two finals…
the team that completes a 14-game-sweep automatically
advances to the finals…
however, in the old rule, a team that sweeps the
“double-round”…
elimination is the outright
champion…
the accommodation and leniency seem to be the order of the
day…
in the UAAP season…
the last time we checked, the game was about playing the
rules…
there is a standing rule which prohibits the simultaneous
fielding of two imports…
but a wise guy of
UAAP, a commissioner ruled that since the double-entry…
did not affect the outcome of the game” and, the caper was
permissible.
