PROVO, Utah (Dec. 14, 2010) — BYU men’s soccer general manager, Deniece Oates attended the annual United Soccer Leagues meetings in Florida to discuss the 2010 Premier Development League season.  The meetings were held in the Grand Hyatt in Tampa.

Here are some of the news and notes from the meetings:

-BYU will continue to play in the Southwest Division.

-The Lancaster Rattlers will not longer field a club.  That means the division will have eight teams and the scheduling will not be home and home like the 2010 season.

-The 2011 schedule will be released in the coming months with BYU playing Ogden four times.

-The Cougars will still be subject to the over age rule.  That is, a maximum of eight players who are 23 or older may be listed among the 18 on the gameday roster.

-The playoffs have changed in an attempt to cut travel costs.  The first round of the playoffs will feature the top two teams from each division, then the winner will face the winner of the Northwest Division.Tweet
