4 x 800 at California State Meet

I am gathering some information in regard to the 4 x 800 and as of now, it appears that the event is definitely a go for the upcoming season. Here is what I know so far.

At CCS the 4x800 will be a straight final. 2 teams per lane, and 1 turn stagger. The 4x800 will come between the final of the 200 and the 3200, which is where it will be at the State meet. It will be a scored event at both CCS and the State meet and the CCS will also be going to the new State scoring system of scoring through 9th place on a 10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. 

The State meet will also now medal to 9 places! The CCS, NCS, SJS, CS, SDS, and LAS will get 2 4x800 teams, and the Southern Section will get 4, I believe, and then I am not sure about the OS, SFS, and NS. No trials at State, just one final on Saturday night.

If CCS is scoring 9 deep will they advance 9 to the finals now, so all CCS sites must have 9 lanes?
