American Soccer League II

by David Litterer spectrum@sover.net

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 for providing much of the information from 1933-1973,
and to Colin Jose and Roger Allaway for providing key supplemental material.  
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.  

Point Scoring System (1976-1982):  5 points for a regulation win, 
2 points for a tie, 0 points for a regulation loss, and 1 point 
for each goal scored up to 3 per game.

Point scoring system (1983):  5 points for a win, 2 points for an

for a loss, and 1 point for each goal scored up to 3 per game.
