UAAP Season 76

Season 76 opened on Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 12:30 P.M. at the Mall of Asia Arena with an elaborate and colorful opening ceremony patterned after the hit book "The Hunger Games".[1] Its theme is "Greatness never ends".[2]

Dancers representing the eight universities dressed up according to their school's identity, but taking a page from the book from which the opening ceremony was themed. The schools’ dancers wore hats, capes matching their university colors and giving off a tribal look, as they came out like the characters from the Districts. The others were dressed in over-the-top outfits, looking like the people from the Capitol — as in the movie. Adamson, this year's host of the UAAP, had the most elaborate introduction in the opening as they showcased huge birds with feathers of white and blue.

The opening ceremony was followed by two men's basketball games, University of the East versus Far Eastern University and De La Salle University against University of Santo Tomas.

The June start, compared to the usual July opening of past seasons, was due to the decision of the UAAP to suspend its basketball games while the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship was running from August 1–11, 2013. This gave way to the country's hosting of the continental caging as requested by the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.[3]

The UAAP Season 76 basketball tournament began on June 29, 2013 at the Mall of Asia Arena. The tournament host was Adamson University and tournament commissioner was Joaquin "Chito" Loyzaga.

The tournament host of the seniors' division is Adamson University while University of the East is tournament host for the juniors' division. The number of participating schools in the girls' tournament increased to six with Adamson University fielding a girls' volleyball team this season.

The UAAP uses the number of wins as the primary criterion for ranking teams. Adamson and La Salle, which were tied with 7 wins in the men's tournament, had a playoff to determine the #4 seed, despite La Salle having more points (23) than Adamson (21); the same happened for Adamson (19 points) and FEU (17 points), which were tied for 4th in the women's tournament with 6 wins.
