It started on February 9 and ended on May 5, 1992. The tournament requires a 6'5" and below import for each team.
==Format== The following format will be observed for the duration of the conference: *The teams were divided into 2 groups. {{col-start}}{{col-2}} Group A: #[[Barangay Ginebra San Miguel|Ginebra San Miguel]] #[[Great Taste Coffee Makers|Presto Ice Cream]] #[[Magnolia Hotshots|Purefoods TJ Hotdogs]] #[[San Miguel Beermen]] {{col-2}} Group B: #[[Alaska Aces (PBA)|Alaska Milkmen]] #[[Pepsi Philippines|Pepsi Hotshots]] #[[Shell Turbo Chargers|Shell Rimula X Zoomers]] #[[Pop Cola Panthers|Swift Mighty Meaty Hotdogs]] {{col-end}} *Teams in a group will play against each other once and against teams in the other group twice; 11 games per team; Teams are then seeded by basis on win–loss records. Ties are broken among point differentials of the tied teams. Standings will be determined in one league table; teams do not qualify by basis of groupings.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=EKJOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PQsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3148%2C4544624|title=Swift books ticket to semis|work=Manila Standard}}</ref> *The top five teams after the eliminations will advance to the semifinals.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=EKJOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PQsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3282%2C5144122|title=Alaska subdues Presto|work=Manila Standard}}</ref> *Semifinals will be two round robin affairs with the remaining teams. Results from the elimination round will be carried over. A playoff incentive for a finals berth will be given to the team that will win at least five of their eight semifinal games. *The top two teams (or the top team and the winner of the playoff incentive) will face each other in a best-of-seven championship series. The next two teams will qualify for a best-of-five playoff for third place.
