The National Collegiate Athletic Association of the Philippines announced that third place in its league will have to be earned for its participating schools.
NCAA Management Committee chair Paul Supan of Season 99 host Jose Rizal University simply stated, "There’s a battle for third in all events."
He adds, "It was included in the proposed improvements this season that was approved by the policy board."
Only athletics and swimming will not have a third place game, but the school finishing third on those events will receive a plaque to highlight their effort.
This has been implemented since the beginning of the season, with the taekwondo, badminton and chess serving as the first events to have invoked this new quirk.
Basketball's counterpart will be determined on Sunday, with College of Saint Benilde and the loser of the ongoing San Beda vs Lyceum matchup set to be its participants.
