PVL conference chronology

The women's division of the 2017 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference was the first conference of the Premier Volleyball League and the 2017 season. The conference started on April 30, 2017 and concluded on June 15, 2017. All elimination round games were played at the FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan while the semifinals and Finals games were held at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig.

The women's tournament was supposed to feature the use of foreign reinforcements, however, they were initially unable to play due to difficulty in securing their international transfer certificates (ITC) from the FIVB. On May 17, 2017, Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas, Inc. (LVPI) confirmed that the FIVB has approved the ITC requests for the imports. The imports began to play on May 18, 2017.

Format

Preliminary round

The six teams compete in a double round-robin tournament, with each team playing two matches against all other teams for a total of ten matches. The top two teams will advance to the semifinals while the bottom four will continue competing in the quarterfinals.

Quarterfinals

The bottom four teams from the preliminary round compete in a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams for a total of three matches. The top two teams will advance to the semifinals while the bottom two will be eliminated and ranked 5th and 6th in the final standings.

Semifinals

The top two teams from the preliminary round and the top two from the quarterfinals compete in the semifinals. Teams compete in best-of-three series with the winners advancing to the finals while the losers will compete in the third place series. The match-ups for the semifinals are as follows:

Third place series

The losing teams from the semifinals compete in a best-of-three series to determine which team will finish third in this conference.

Finals

The winning teams from the semifinals compete in a best-of-three series to determine the conference champions. The losing team in this round will be declared conference runners-up.

Pool standing procedure

Teams are initially ranked by wins followed by match points. A win awards three points if the match lasted for three or four sets (3–0 or 3–1), or two points if the match lasted for five sets (3–2). A loss only awards one point if the match lasted for five sets (2–3).

If multiple teams tie for wins and match points, the next criteria are set ratio (the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost across all matches) and point ratio (the number of points won divided by number of points lost across all matches). If any teams are still tied, the procedure will be applied again, but only considering matches between the remaining tied teams.
