  • Rules Changes

    The league decided to do away with tie games. If a match was tied after 90 minutes, the teams would go directly to a standard penalty kick shootout and the outcome would appear in the standings as a 'tie-win'. The tie-winner would gain three points, plus goals in regulation, while the loser of the tie-breaker received no points, except for regulation goals. Including the 1974 NASL Final, 33 games were decided using this method.

    Regular season

    W = Wins, L = Losses, T= PK Shootout Wins, GF = Goals For, GA = Goals Against, PT= point system

    6 points for a win, 3 points for a PK shootout win, 0 points for a loss, 1 point for each goal scored up to three per game.
