Several expatriate cagers arrived on the scene (such as <a href="/wiki/Asi_Taulava" title="Asi Taulava">Asi Taulava</a>, <a href="/wiki/Danny_Seigle" title="Danny Seigle">Danny Seigle</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eric_Menk" title="Eric Menk">Eric Menk</a>). Their lineage was questionable and most of them were deported for falsifying documents. The arrival of dozens of these players was a counter to the fledgling <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Basketball_Association" title="Metropolitan Basketball Association">Metropolitan Basketball Association</a>, a regional-based professional league formed in 1998. After <a href="/wiki/ABS-CBN_Corporation" title="ABS-CBN Corporation">ABS-CBN</a>'s 2001 abandonment, the <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_Basketball_Association" title="Metropolitan Basketball Association">MBA</a> faced mounting expenses and would fold within a year. Despite the MBA's disbandment and the arrival of those players to the PBA, attendance went sour for the PBA in 2002 and was even worse the following year. </p><p>In 2004, the league introduced drastic scheduling changes, when it decided to begin the season in October instead of January. The change in starting the season allowed the league to accommodate international tournaments held from June to September and it fit better with college hoops, the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_(Philippines)" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA (Philippines)">NCAA</a> and the <a href="/wiki/UAAP" class="mw-redirect" title="UAAP">UAAP</a>, whose seasons run from June to October. The league also reduced the number of conferences from three to two, renaming the All-Filipino Cup as the <a href="/wiki/PBA_Philippine_Cup" title="PBA Philippine Cup">Philippine Cup</a> and introducing a new import laden tournament named as the <a href="/wiki/PBA_Fiesta_Conference" title="PBA Fiesta Conference">Fiesta Conference</a>. To accommodate these changes, a transitional tournament, the <a href="/wiki/2004_PBA_Fiesta_Conference" title="2004 PBA Fiesta Conference">2004 PBA Fiesta Conference</a> was held from February to July, which was won by the <a href="/wiki/Barangay_Ginebra_San_Miguel" title="Barangay Ginebra San Miguel">Barangay Ginebra Kings</a>. The league also began to hold the annual All-Star weekend in the provinces, alternating from Luzon and Visayas/Mindanao provinces every year. </p><p>The league regained some popularity by this year, thanks in large part to Barangay Ginebra's three PBA championships led by <a href="/wiki/Eric_Menk" title="Eric Menk">Eric Menk</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jayjay_Helterbrand" title="Jayjay Helterbrand">Jayjay Helterbrand</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mark_Caguioa" title="Mark Caguioa">Mark Caguioa</a>. Solid marketing and arrival of collegiate stars from the <a href="/wiki/UAAP" class="mw-redirect" title="UAAP">UAAP</a> and the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Philippines" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA Philippines">NCAA</a> also worked in the PBA's favor. </p><p>By 2005, the league would take on the role of Philippine national representation under <a href="/wiki/Chot_Reyes" title="Chot Reyes">Chot Reyes</a>, when <a href="/wiki/FIBA" title="FIBA">FIBA</a> lifted the suspension of the country following the formation of the <a href="/wiki/Samahang_Basketbol_ng_Pilipinas" title="Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas">Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas</a> despite a ninth-place finish in the <a href="/wiki/2007_FIBA_Asia_Championship" title="2007 FIBA Asia Championship">2007 FIBA Asia Championship</a>. In 2009, however, the all-amateur <a href="/wiki/Smart_Gilas" class="mw-redirect" title="Smart Gilas">Smart Gilas</a> team became the country's official representative in international competitions.

Unlike in most leagues where a "<a href="/wiki/Athletic_conference" title="Athletic conference">conference</a>" refers to the grouping of teams based on historical or geographical context, PBA conferences are tournaments each consisting of an elimination round and playoffs, similar to the <a href="/wiki/Apertura_and_Clausura" title="Apertura and Clausura">Apertura and Clausura</a> format in Latin American football. There may be fewer conferences in a season, such as the <a href="/wiki/2020_PBA_season" title="2020 PBA season">2020</a> and <a href="/wiki/2021_PBA_season" title="2021 PBA season">2021 seasons</a> having one and two conferences, respectively, due to the <a href="/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic" title="COVID-19 pandemic">COVID-19 pandemic</a>. The three conferences are the <a href="/wiki/PBA_Philippine_Cup" title="PBA Philippine Cup">Philippine Cup</a>, <a href="/wiki/PBA_Commissioner%27s_Cup" title="PBA Commissioner's Cup">Commissioner's Cup</a> and <a href="/wiki/PBA_Governors%27_Cup" title="PBA Governors' Cup">Governors' Cup</a>, with the Philippine Cup being considered the most prestigious of the three.<sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The season begins with an <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association_opening_ceremonies" title="Philippine Basketball Association opening ceremonies">opening ceremony</a> consisting of the presentation of the team's roster and their respective muses followed by the <a href="/wiki/PBA_Leo_Awards" title="PBA Leo Awards">Leo Awards</a>, the league's awarding ceremony, all before the start of the first game of the season. </p><p>The Philippine and Commissioner's Cups begin with a single <a href="/wiki/Round-robin_tournament" title="Round-robin tournament">round-robin</a> elimination round, where every team plays against each other once with the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs while the rest are eliminated. The Governors' Cup splits the teams into a two groups that will play in a double round-robin with the top four from each group advancing to the playoffs. The format of the playoffs depends on the conference being held and has varied over the years. The Finals, regardless of conference, is a <a href="/wiki/Best-of-seven" class="mw-redirect" title="Best-of-seven">best-of-seven</a> series to determine the conference champion. Previous conferences featured a group stage where teams play against their group opponents twice or a second elimination round for the top teams serving as the conference semifinals. The conference champions don't meet at the end of the season to determine an overall champion, instead, all of them are declared league champions. If a single team manages to win every conference in a single season, the team earns the rare distinction of being a <a href="/wiki/Grand_Slam_(PBA)" title="Grand Slam (PBA)">Grand Slam</a> champion. At the end of the conference, the league holds an awarding ceremony to honor the best players of the conference. </p><p>Once the season concludes, the league holds its <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Basketball_Association_draft" title="Philippine Basketball Association draft">rookie draft</a>. Most draft applicants have played in the collegiate ranks (either in the <a href="/wiki/College_basketball_in_the_Philippines" title="College basketball in the Philippines">Philippines</a> or the <a href="/wiki/College_basketball_in_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="College basketball in the United States">United States</a>), the <a href="/wiki/PBA_D-League" title="PBA D-League">PBA D-League</a>, or in other domestic and international leagues. The off-season usually lasts a couple of months before the next season begins. In some cases, there may be a mid-season break to give way for players who are members of the <a href="/wiki/Philippines_men%27s_national_basketball_team" title="Philippines men's national basketball team">Philippine national team</a> to play in <a href="/wiki/FIBA" title="FIBA">FIBA</a> tournaments, as such the season may be lengthened. There have been calls from within the league to revert back to the two-conference format used from 2004 to 2010 to shorten the season and have it in sync with the FIBA calendar again.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Game_rules">Game rules</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Philippine_Basketball_Association&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Game rules"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The PBA uses its own rules for its games, independent from <a href="/wiki/FIBA" title="FIBA">FIBA</a> or the <a href="/wiki/National_Basketball_Association" title="National Basketball Association">NBA</a>.
