Still two teams -- Gensan Omicrons and MDFragata followed with 6 point apiece -- while Cotabato Province, Elman Team A, Pacman Team C and SLVP had 5.5 points each. Bobby Pacquiao A, Bobby Pacquiao TEam B and Elegcant Houses of Pampanga, Inchess Asia, Nurjay Sahali A, M.S. Yabut B, JJO-CDO Kingslayer and TARAKA of Lanao Sur had 5 points each.
