The Filoil Flying V Centre and the Ynares Center Antipolo served as the alternate venues when the MOA Arena and Araneta Coliseum were unavailable. the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) tapped the services of its own exclusive group of referees in Season 81.
The UAAP expanded its number of tournaments by holding 3×3 basketball games in the men's and women's divisions as a demonstration sport in Season 80. The inclusion of 3×3 basketball in the list of UAAP tournaments is timely as 3×3 basketball is now an Olympic event. 3×3 basketball may be reclassified as a regular sport next season after the positive responses from member schools who all fielded a team.
The UAAP Season 81 seniors' 3×3 basketball tournament was held on March 2–3, 2019. The tournament venue was the Ayala Malls Feliz, Pasig.[8] and the tournament commissioner was Xavier Nunag.
