Pre-season events

Manok ng Bayan-SBP 3X3

The Manok ng Bayan-SBP 3X3, a basketball youth tournament for boys and girls was held in Cebu as the official kickoff event of the 2019 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 season. The event was an attempt to break the record for the biggest FIBA-sanctioned youth tournament by participants, as well as to accumulate FIBA Federation Ranking points for the Philippines in order for the country to gain enough points to qualify to send a team to the 3x3 event at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

2019 President's Cup

The President's Cup is the first conference of the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 season. The conference is exclusive to Filipinos and imports or foreigners are ineligible. However players of foreign descent who can prove their Filipino heritage are eligible to play. The conference consisted of five legs each considered as a separate tournament. A sixth leg, the Grand Finals, was planned but later scrapped.

The top placing team in the grand final qualifies for the FIBA 3x3 World Tour while the next top two teams gain a berth each at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Super Quest.
