The Spikers' Turf 1st Season Open Conference is the inaugural conference of Spikers' Turf. The opening ceremony was held on April 5, 2015 with the first match of volleyball game at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan, Metro Manila.[2] There were eight competing teams in this conference.
Participating teams
- Preliminary round
- The preliminary round was a single round-robin tournament, with each team playing one match against all other teams for a total of seven matches.
- The top four teams advanced to the semifinals while the bottom four were eliminated.
- Semifinals
- The semifinals was also a single round-robin, with each team playing three matches in this round.
- The top two teams advanced to the championship match while the bottom two would play in the third-place match.
- Finals
- The championship and third-place series were best-of-three series.
- The match-ups were as follows:
- Championship: Semifinal round winners
- Third-place series: Semifinal round losers
- If the championship ends after two matches, which can only occur if either team wins 2–0, the third-place series will immediately end even if it is tied. Tiebreakers would be used to determine the winner of the third-place series in this scenario.
Pool standing procedure
- First, teams are ranked by the number of matches won.
- If the number of matches won is tied, the tied teams are then ranked by match points, wherein:
- Match won 3–0 or 3–1: 3 match points for the winner, 0 match points for the loser.
- Match won 3–2: 2 match points for the winner, 1 match point for the loser.
- In case of any further ties, the following criteria shall be used:
- Set ratio: the number of sets won divided by number of sets lost.
- Point ratio: number of points scored divided by number of points allowed.
- Head-to-head standings: any remaining tied teams are ranked based on the results of head-to-head matches involving the teams in question.
