1961-62: 2nd class added (class 2A, 1A).
1979-80: 3rd class added (class 3A, 2A, 1A).
1993-94: First year for four divisions (division I, II, III, IV).
2001-02: Double elimination in playoffs.
2007-08: First year some regular season games are played at Petco Park on a Friday and Saturday.
2010-11: 5th division added (division I, II, III, IV, V).
2010-11: BBCOR (batted ball coefficient of restitution) standard bats are required, older bats are waived for one more year. BBCOR bats don't have as much "bounce" as older bats, reducing risk of injury to fielders.
