Correct.

The easiest way to think of it is that this is just another regional. For divisions, that's what they are, essentially--just with a few more teams than normal. So, normal regional rules apply.

Johnny, where do you get the 500 lb limit for spares? Unless you're talking about crate weight (which as I recall is LOWER, and in any case is already a moot point as the crate in question was packed and shipped a week ago), there is no limit on COTS spares.
