Originally posted by ja.he View Posti beg to disagree. it actually runs counter because of the "sawa" factor from fans. 3 conference-season, 10 month long season kills the excitement factor of the pba. i always like the idea by eala of just having a 2-conference since it shortens the league from 10 to 8 months. just imagine june palang, tapos na ang liga. then you have to wait 3-4 months, then you will get excited by the month of october since pba during that time usually starts last week of that month. have you ever guys notice that the gate attendance during those seasons where 2-conference format was implemented was significantly higher than today? i notice it kahit coke at air21 lang naglalaban, the lower box was still jampack unlike today na kahit ynares di pa nila kaya punuin ang lower box.
The reason for this is the fans never have sawa factor lao pag natatalo (ie star).. even in recreational leagues its better to have bawi the next conference rather than next year.. it kills competition from football or uaap/ncaa..
And the bora kangkong marketing of pba in social media age is a work of genius, it eagers fans to watch pba and make "pusta" which is the main advantage of pba being all year..To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

Originally posted by mangangalakal View PostThat's true; but with increased ticket prices, more games will also mean more revenues even if gate attendance decreases. Maybe the PBA is sticking to that model, otherwise they would not have scrapped the 2-conference format. To be honest I agree with you, but the fact is the PBA has stuck to the 3-conference format because it means more play-off games. 3 finals series will generate more money than 2 finals series, especially if a popular team is involved.Attack

I think the solution is to shorten the season to only 8 months & revert back to the 2-conference format, but we increase the frequency of the games.
If we compare the frequency of the games of each PBA team to the frequency of games of teams from other Asian pro leagues, say KBL or CBA, I think we can notice that frequency of games of PBA teams is lower.
Come to think of it, "weak" teams, those that always get eliminated, get to play for around 33 games for the whole 10-month PBA season. 33 games in around 300 days, that is around 1 game for every 10 days.
The NBA regular season w/c runs for about 6 1/2 months have a total of 82 games per team. So that's 82 games in almost 200 days, so that's one game in every 2 and a half days.
I'm not saying we do what the NBA is doing. I'm just pointing out the disparity. BIG disparity at that."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Originally posted by ja.he View Postthat's what i don't really understand as pba has 4-playing days a week but still the game frequency is very low.
Just compare the No. of games that San Miguel Beer has played so far this season to that of Mahindra/Kia. You will see the BIG disparity.
Now, try to convert the PBA into a 2-conference format, you will see the disparity in terms of the No. of games between the strong & weak teams won't be that glaring."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

their should be "pa miss effect" 8 month season will be fine.. and the old saying, the success of gilas is the success of pba. when gilas fails, pba will get affected. the attendance right now is eye sore even a ginebra game won't fill up the seats till the bleachers of araneta and even ynares at antipolo. the attendance will get more eye sore if gilas fails in asia cup..Philippine Malditas to FIFA Womens World Cup 2023
