All-Time USISL Indoor Standings

What we know today as the USL Championship had its humble beginnings in a garage in Dallas, Texas. Francisco Marcos, even by then a long-time executive in American soccer, started the Southwest Indoor Soccer League out of his home. It eventually added an outdoor component, added a professional division, grew into a lower-division behemoth, survived a potentially cataclysmic split and is now thriving as a strong second-division league. But it all began with five amateur indoor teams in 1986.

Below are the standings and playoff results for this league (with its many name changes noted). Documented additions and corrections are always welcome. (Scores are hard to come by and they are also appreciated, as are dates for some playoff games.) The great research of Dave Litterer is gratefully acknowledged.
