PCCL Official WebsiteThe Philippine Collegiate Championship (PCC) is the national collegiate basketball championship tournament in the Philippines. It is sanctioned by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, the country's national basketball federation, and organized by the Philippine Collegiate Champions League. Its format is similar to the one used in the United States' NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, with 250 teams coming from nine different regional areas nationwide.[1]

History
It was originally established in 2002 as the Collegiate Champions League (CCL). Later, Philippine Basketball League commissioner Chino Trinidad served as the commissioner of the tournament. In 2008, the national governing body of basketball in the Philippines, the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) sanctioned the CCL and was renamed into the Philippine Collegiate Championship in which the organizers of the old CCL were retained.
Teams from the UAAP had dominated the tournament, winning all of the championships contested. UAAP and NCAA (Philippines) teams are given four, and the CESAFI one, outright round of 16 berths. Interestingly no UAAP champion vs. NCAA champion had took place in the final, although a final between the UAAP champion and the NCAA runner-up was contested in 2003, UAAP and CESAFI champions contested the final in 2007, and both finalists in the UAAP contested the 2008 championship.
In the first two and most recent two championships were played in a best-of-3 series; the others were one-off games; no third-place game was held on the first two tournaments.
