Pre-season events

Manok ng Bayan-SBP 3X3
Main article: 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.[2] The conference consisted of five legs each considered as a separate tournament. A sixth leg, the Grand Finals, was planned[5] 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.[6]

1st Tour

The first leg of the President Cup took place at the events area of the SM Megamall in Mandaluyong on February 16, 2019[2] with the 1Bataan Risers securing a slim win against the Pasig Grindhouse King, 19–18 in the leg final.[7][8]

In the Gameville Dunk Contest, Kobe Paras of the University of the Philippines won over Daniel Chatman of the National University after he performed a one-handed tomahawk[7] Four judges gave Paras 49 points for the final performance, a point short of a perfect score while Chatman was given a 39 points. Dylan Ababou of Pasig won the three-point shootout contest.[8]
