PSL Grand Prix chronology
PSL conference chronology

The 2015 Philippine Super Liga Grand Prix was the sixth indoor volleyball conference of the Philippine Super Liga, the third and final conference of the 2015 season, and the seventh conference overall. The conference began on October 10, 2015, at the Alonte Sports Arena, in Biñan, Laguna.

Stav Jacobi, FIVB Executive Council member and chief organizer of the FIVB World Women's Club Volleyball Championship, was the guest of honor for the opening ceremony,[1] while Prajaya Chaiyakam, the deputy managing director of SMMTV, Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC)'s official TV partner, and his cameraman went to Cuneta Astrodome to witness Game 1 of the PSL Finals.[2]

The tournament champion, the Foton Tornadoes, will represent the country in the 2016 AVC Women's Club Championship.[3][4]

Video challenge system

[edit | edit source]

The PSL became the third Southeast Asia-based volleyball club league (after Thailand and Vietnam) to utilize the video challenge system allowing teams to challenge and decide crucial calls during the games for a fair and balanced officiating, as part of the full compliance to the FIVB rules. The system, reportedly worth ₱3 million, courtesy of Italy-based Data Volley (composed of machine and 26 high-definition cameras to be beamed through a giant LED screen provided by Sports5 inside the venue) arrived on October 26, 2015 and used on October 27, 2015, during the second round of the tournament. Emmanuel Celle of the Data Volley spearheaded the project.[5][6]

The video challenge was officially launched two days later with Cignal's coach Sammy Acaylar being the first to use the video challenge system, block touch during first set of their match against Foton. The system was available for the games held within the venues in Metro Manila and in the Spike on Tour event in Imus, Cavite.[7]

Import controversy

[edit | edit source]

On October, PVF President Edgardo "Boy" Cantada, condemned the act of the LVPI and Score (headed by Ramon Suzara, the president of PSL, and one of the masterminds in the withdrawal of recognition of PVF in the POC, AVC, and FIVB) over the incident involving 12 imports of the Philippine Super Liga Grand Prix who have gone through the immigration process and play in the league without any necessary working permits and other documents of foreigners who will work in the country. He also criticized LVPI and Suzara for blatant disregard and abuse of the Philippine immigration and labor laws over the incident.[8]
