The following changes were adopted at the OMAHA meeting last month:

• if you declare to play up in a higher division, you will remain there for playoffs
• only the top 4 teams from each division will make playoffs
• 2009/2010 season starts 2 weeks later (games approx. Oct 23), and will be a shorter season this year due to the Olympics
• Academys will play in a separate division of OMAHA, but can be scheduled for exhibition games
