| The USISL Standings are a reflection of the eighteen counted games for each team, with the exception of the Southeast Division which, due to inclement weather, had seventeen counted games. Each team had a 20 game schedule, with two games counting as Designated Makeup Games (DMGs). DMGs are plugged in for any game that was cancelled during the season. The points are determined as follows: 6 points for a win, with 1 point per goal awarded up to 3 goals. A shootout win is worth 4 points, a shootout loss is worth 2 points. Teams in the Northeast and Midwest have points that reflect the addition of a 1 point corner kick bonus per game. |
