"Defending champions in boldface"
Nowhere in Wikipedia has the defending champions are boldfaced in team standings. What's this insanity in bolding the defending champions? Or current, future, predicted, or whatever champions? – H T  D  15:12, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Also, there's this bolding the champion (only) in playoff brackets. In brackets, the team that wins the game/series is the one that is bolded. Of course, the champion is the winner of the final series (and the previous series it has participated in), but we (and by "we" meaning the rest of Wikipedia) also bolded the winner of every series, which is not necessarily the champion.

We've settled on bolding the host in team standings and bolding the series winner in playoff bracket; the latter is more universally practiced, and it's insane to do so otherwise. Unless there's consensus to change it, no one's should be doing what we've been doing since we started doing this since 2004(?). – H T  D  15:17, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Volleyball points system
Are they going to use that this season? They didn't use it last time but the articles made it appear that they did... – H T  D  15:27, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I think they used it last time. That's how the final standings in the men's division was largely based. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 13:09, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That's interesting. Looking at the men's division, the points system was used a "tiebreaker" when both had the same W-L records. It was not really as the primary way of ranking teams; the primary way was still via W-L record or winning percentage. The women's division "tie" for fourth would not have gone to a playoff if we'd follow the points system since they would not have been tied in the first place; if you're basing it on points, NU and UST were far apart; in fact NU should've ranked third. Yet, Adamson was third, and NU & UST went into a playoff because AdU was 9-5, and both UST & NU had 8-6 records. If they used the points system, there should have been no playoff, NU was 3rd and AdU was 4th. – H T  D  13:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think they used it to rank the men's teams, at least after the first round, for purposes of schedule. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 10:20, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * These are the team standings at the end of the first round. It's inconclusive since the DLSU-UST and UP-UE ties are ranked either by the points system, point ratio or set ratio. On the second round, they definitely ranked it via winning percentage, and appeared to use the point system to break ties and for that reason alone. If they aren't going to use the points system, there's no use for it to be displayed in the team standings, except perhaps for breaking ties. – H T  D  10:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

If the UAAP isn't using this points system as the primary basis of ranking teams, then it doesn't belong in standings tables. – H T  D  10:03, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Other awardees in sports without separate articles
With your indulgence, I hope the Most Improved Players (or other awards) in sports without such separate articles be included. MIP, in the case of sports such as badminton is accorded the same regard as MVP and ROY. Same is the case on maybe other sports with other awards. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Are the MVPs, ROYs and MIPs the only awards which are given to all events? Or is there another one, aside from Finals MVP? – H T  D  13:27, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think so.Aeron Valderrama (talk) 10:19, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Since when have they done this? – H T  D  10:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The awarding of MIPs? I have been covering UAAP for 10 years (2003) and I know they have been awarding it since then, Aeron Valderrama (talk) 08:21, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems that the media isn't caring about it. This doesn't mention any award winners, while This only mentions MVP. I can be persuaded on adding ROYs even though the media doesn't care about it, but the MIPs are a hard sell. – H T  D  10:44, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There's no MIP in taekwondo, badminton awards MIP. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 05:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That means it is not universal, then? – H T  D  08:46, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * If it's not universal, then it shouldn't belong in this article. – H T  D  10:03, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Coverage details
I would like to clarify the history of the coverage. Yes, this is UAAP's 14th straight season airing men's basketball. That is for sure. However, Studio 23 has started airing women's volleyball in 2003, if I am not mistaken. Therefore, to say that the network has been covering "men's basketball AND women's volleyball" for that span is, I think, incorrect. I like to edit this statement but I want to ascertain first the year when S23 first did women's volley. Aeron Valderrama (talk) 16:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
