Football edit

Main article: UAAP Season 70 football tournaments

The UAAP Football tournament officially opened on January 12, 2008 at the Ateneo Erenchun Football Field of the Ateneo de Manila University in Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights Quezon City. Tournament host was Ateneo de Manila.

This year marked the introduction of high school football in the UAAP as a demonstration sport. The initial participating schools were Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle-Santiago Zobel School, University of Santo Tomas High School and FEU - Diliman.

Three championship titles are disputed in UAAP football, one for each division, namely the men's, women's and juniors. The tournament is a double round robin elimination. A Team that sweeps both rounds automatically wins the championship. Otherwise, the number one and two ranked teams meet in the Finals round with the former having a twice-to-beat advantage over the number two team. Games in the Finals go into extra time if the score is a draw at the end of Regulation Time. The extra time consists of two 15-minute periods. If there is still no winner after the extra time, then the game will go to a penalty shootout (free kick) to decide the winner.

  2. ^ All games of De La Salle from January 15 onwards were forfeited when player Jacqueline Alarca continued playing despite her school's approval of her leave of absence. This led her to cease as a De La Salle student, breaking UAAP rules that a player must be enrolled to the school the person represents.[3]

The three-way tie for #1 was broken as follows:

  • Teams were seeded by the number of sets won ratio. Adamson held the advantage with a +2, while UST and FEU had each a –1.
  • In the playoffs for the first seed, Adamson with a better win record drew a bye and waited for the winner of the UST versus FEU match.
  • FEU defeated UST in 4 sets and gained the right to play Adamson for the number one seeding. UST was relegated to #3 seed.
  • Adamson defeated FEU in 5 sets in their playoff for the first seed.
