Three-Point Shootout
This year's shootout featured a new format. Each of the five racks now has two moneyballs, with the first and fifth balls being valued as two points. This was a departure from the previous years' feature of having an "all-moneyball rack". This also increased the maximum possible points to 35 from 34.

Logo making contest
The league launched a logo-making contest for the All-Star week on February 23, 2018. The winner of the contest will win an all-expense-paid trip for two to one of the All-Star week legs (Davao, Batangas or Iloilo).[1]
On March 15, an entry by John Paul Limos was selected as the winner of the contest by a selection committee composed of Commissioner Willie Marcial, PBA Press Corps president Gerry Ramos and Magnolia Hotshots team manager Alvin Patrimonio.[2] The winning entry however got disqualified the following day since the logo had a very similar look from the logo used by PlayPark All-Stars (an e-sports tournament).[3]
On March 19, a new logo, designed by Jerome Allan Moreno was selected as the winner of the logo making contest.[4]
