Under the new format, teams will play a nine-game regular season with every team qualifying for the postseason.  Teams will be placed in eight-team districts that will be seeded under a points system.

Week 10 will start the postseason with three weeks of playoff games to determine eight district champs that will advance to the state quarterfinals.

Classification sizes remain the same with the largest 32 teams in Class 6.  Classes 1-4 will include the smallest 64 schools in ascending order.  Class 5 will include the remaining schools.
