New D2 League to Play 30-game Regular SeasonFebruary 9, 2010
 Article Courtesy of Soccer America - Soccer AmericaDaily[U.S. SOCCER DIVISION 2] There are 12 teams divided into two conferences – the USL Conference and the NASL Conference. The USL Conference includes Austin Aztex, NSC Minnesota, Portland Timbers, Puerto Rico Islanders, Rochester Rhinos and Tampa Bay Rowdies. The NASL Conference will consist of Crystal Palace Baltimore, Carolina Rail Hawks, Miami FC, Montreal Impact, AC St. Louis and Vancouver Whitecaps.
The U.S. Soccer D2 league was formed following the move by club owners to split off from USL. Neither league (the breakaway NASL or USL-1) could receive sanctioning on its own from U.S. Soccer as a D2 league. The winners of each conference earn the top two seeds, while the next six teams with the most points during the regular season from either conference will also move on to the playoffs.
