Forty people have expressed their interest, meaning there will be five players in each of the eight teams.
The only other option was to have ten teams of four, which would have meant two teams having to sit out each Monday night with a bye.
It has also been decided that play will no longer be suspended during school holidays, only breaking for public holidays in March and June as well as Easter Monday.
The extension of the season will allow for 14 rounds of competition to be followed by three weeks of finals including the grand final on Monday, June 23.
The first round of matches will be played Monday night at the Stawell Leisure Complex from 7pm.
