Invitational conference

The 2023 Premier Volleyball League Invitational Conference was the fifteenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League and its six conference as a professional league. The tournament was originally scheduled to start on June 6, 2023, however, it was moved to June 27, 2023, due to the Philippines women's national volleyball team competing at the 2023 Asian Women's Volleyball Challenge Cup. [6]

This conference introduced three debuting teams in the league — Farm Fresh Foxies and Quezon City Gerflor Defenders as newly formed teams, and the return of Foton Tornadoes in the Filipino volleyball scene after the original team was rebranded as Chery Tiggo Crossovers in 2020. [7] [8] Philippine Army Lady Troopers is skipping this conference due to military training to most of its players. [9] Two foreign teams, Kurashiki Ablaze of Japan and Kinh Bắc Bắc Ninh of Vietnam, also participated in the conference. [10] [11]

With these new additions alongside the two foreign guest teams, this is the first conference of the PVL that has more than ten participating corporate teams. Moreover, this is also the most contested conference of the league, by having thirteen teams — the most by any conference so far.

Second All-Filipino conference

The 2023 Premier Volleyball League Second All-Filipino Conference [18] was the sixteenth conference of the Premier Volleyball League. The tournament began on October 15, 2023. [19] [20] This tournament was set to be the second post-pandemic import-laden conference known as the 2023 Premier Volleyball League Reinforced Conference, with the Angels set to defend their crown, but was made into a second All-Filipino Conference as a consequence of sanctions from the Philippine National Volleyball Federation.

The conference not only marked the arrival of two debuting teams – Nxled Chameleons, the sister team of Akari Chargers, and Galeries Tower Highrisers, but it also marked the return of using a cross-over format for the semifinals which was last implemented on the same conference earlier this year which is the 2023 Premier Volleyball League First All-Filipino Conference. [21] Meanwhile the Foton Tornadoes withdrew from the PVL. This is the first conference of the league catering to the most local club teams with twelve.

Changes

Due to PNVF sanctions

The tournament was originally planned to be organized as the Reinforced Conference and was meant to feature teams reinforced by an import or a foreign player. However, the Philippine National Volleyball Federation penalized the PVL for violating Article 6.1.1.b of the FIVB Regulations 2022 which states that the national team period should be prioritized by professional leagues. However, the league proceeded with the opening of the Invitational Conference on June 27. [22]

The FIVB has allowed the PVL to organize a third conference but the PNVF will not be able to issue international transfer certificates which would allow clubs to sign in foreign players for the tournament. [22]

Timeout

The timeout regulations was changed starting from this conference in a bid to minimize match duration. A technical timeout lasting from one to two minutes will come to effect when one team reaches 13 points. Teams will have one regular timeout and another 30-second timeout for each set. [23]
