Invitational Conference
[edit]The 2023 Spikers' Turf Invitational Conference was the seventeenth conference and the end of the sixth season of the Spikers' Turf. The tournament began from October 20 to December 15, 2023, at the Paco Arena, Paco, Manila.[6][7]
This was the inaugural Invitational conference of the league, with a format similar to the Premier Volleyball League. This is the first conference where a foreign club, Maruichi Hyogo of Japan, participated in the league.[8]
The Sta. Elena-NU Nationals beat the Cignal HD Spikers in a thrilling 5-setter knockout match in the finals, the first of its kind in the history of the league. The visiting Maruichi Hyogo then bagged the bronze medal after defeating Saints and Lattes-Letran in another five-set match. Vince Himzon of Letran clinched the MVP of the Conference, and Jade Disquitado was awarded the MVP of the Finals.
Participating teams
[edit]A total of twenty-five teams participated in this conference. Twenty-four of these teams are local, some of which had its core players from the UAAP and NCAA, and then sponsored by corporate/companies. For the first time in the league's history, they catered to a foreign guest team in Maruichi Hyogo of Japan, which had a bye to the semifinals and faced the top four local teams of the conference.[7]
