Teams are divided into two pools, and the competition features two rounds of matches before heading to the knockout matches towards the end of November.
The opener became controversial, as imports were not cleared to play.
The Philippine National Volleyball Federation signed off on their International Transfer Certificates (ITCs) on Wednesday, greenlighting the foreign guest players and Fil-foreign athletes.
To ensure fairness, the league decided that the two opening matches would be replayed.
