[edit] Finance

• What are the players' salaries & how does this compare to the MLS? 216.174.165.54 17:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Does the League advocate making promotion relegation easier? 216.174.165.54 17:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Format?

I believe there should be a section dedicated to how USL is set up

• number of games
• promotion/relegation
• play-offs
• etc.

[edit] First team plays home??

Hi, I'm not sure, but the best team won't play the home leg 1st. I know the Impact will play their home game on sunday ie the second game. So it is not necessarly true. The thing that is true is that the best team has the oppotunity to play the game they want at home.Soopafred 22:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

The team with the superior record chooses which leg they play at home. BobbyAFC 02:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

BobbyAFC is right, it's not automatic, the better team gets to choose. Henryong

[edit] Calibre

I removed this line from the intro of this article:

Based on past results in friendly matches vs. Football League clubs, the USL-1 is around the same level as League One in England.

This is pure speculation, not to mention the fact that most English clubs do not field their full team in friendlies and usually play them in the off-season when they are not at their fittest.Largo1965 17:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
