Comm. Chito Salud on why there is NO battle for 3rd: Over the years, the league has observed that teams that play for third are not a hundred percent out to give it their all. And this is understandable after the teams have just been ousted in a hard-fought semifinal series. Thereafter, they tend to just go through the motions in playing for third place. We think that while this behavior is consistent with normal human behavior, the lack of desire to compete under the circumstances does not interest the fans.
