The Finals of the 2023 PVL Second All-Filipino Conference will mark the opening of the second round of this year’s tournament.
The second seed, Choco Mucho, and defending champion, Creamline, will commence the round-robin semifinals on Tuesday at 4:00 PM at the Philsports Arena.
Meanwhile, top seed Petro Gazz will take on Chery Tiggo at 6:00 PM.
It’s worth recalling that the Cool Smashers swept the Flying Titans 25–17, 25–22, 25-19 in front of 17,000 fans at the SMART Araneta Coliseum during the elimination round.
However, with just 24 points in its name after the preliminary round, Creamline will enter the semis as the fourth seed.
This is its worst finish in the eliminations since the 2017 Reinforced Conference.
Nevertheless, all teams will revert to zero in this format introduced two years ago.
On Thursday, still at the same Pasig venue, rivals Petro Gazz and Creamline will square off at 4:00 PM, followed by Chery Tiggo versus Choco Mucho.
The league will feature a rare Sunday game to close out the round at the Big Dome.
Creamline will face Chery Tiggo at 4:00 PM, followed by Petro Gazz going up against Choco Mucho.
The top two teams in points after the round will advance to the best-of-three finals, all to be played at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
