Instead of the usual three-conference format, the season was shortened to two conferences to give way for the Philippines' hosting of the SEA Games in Manila.
Rivals Toyota and Crispa played in the finals for the 10th and what turn out to be the last time during the PBA Open Conference championship series. The Super Diesels finally ended a string of three runner-up finishes from last year by winning against the Redmanizers in five games.
Toyota import Andrew Fields became the first recipient of the PBA Best Import Award.
William "Bogs" Adornado of U/Tex Wranglers won his 3rd Most Valuable Player Award.
