Team Standings and Playoff results
The second American Soccer league was always a very low-key league,
toiling without recognition outside of the regional areas in which it
played. Crowds usually numbered from 1,000 - 3,000. But this also is
the longest running professional league in U. S. history. For much of
its history, the league concentrated on the New England - New York - New
Jersey - Philadelphia area, but in the early 1970's, it expanded into
the Midwest, and then in the late 1970's, during the boom years of the
NASL, it opened a division along the west coast. This ambitious plan
proved too expensive for a league with such tenuous finances, and the
league dwindled until its last season in 1983. The league folded, but a
number of teams joined the newly formed United Soccer League which
played through 1985.
Many thanks to Mark Pollak (mpollak0@counsel.com) for providing much of
the information from 1933-1973. Mark obtained this information through
a variety of sources, including media guides and press releases of the
ASL and USSF, the Philadelphia Bulletin Almanacs for various years, and
newspaper box scores and articles. Information for 1974-1983 comes from
newspaper articles, the Bill Graham guides, ASL media guides and USSFA
guides. Sam Foulds, Colin Jose and the US Hall of Fame Archives were
invaluable sources of information for the early years of the league.
Point scoring system (1934-1975): 2 points for a win, 1 point for a
tie, 0 points for a loss.
Point Scoring System (1976-1983): 5 points for a regulation win, 2
points for a shootout win, 1 point for a shootout loss, 0 points for a
regulation loss, and 1 point for each goal scored up to 3 per game.
