USSF Division 2 Professional League
Encyclopedia
USSF Division 2 Professional League (D2 Pro League) was a temporary professional soccer league created by the United States Soccer Federation
(USSF) in 2010 to last just one season. The twelve-team league was formed as a compromise between the feuding United Soccer Leagues
(USL) and the North American Soccer League
(NASL). The D2 Pro League was the second tier of the American
and Canadian soccer pyramid

agreed to sell their stake in the United Soccer Leagues
to investment company NuRock, instead of Jeff Cooper, who had aligned with a group of USL First Division
team owners. Disappointed with the sale and state of the league, the ownership group broke away after the 2009 season with the intent to form a new incarnation of the North American Soccer League
. The leagues sued each other, but ultimately withdrew their lawsuits and agreed to mediate with the United States Soccer Federation
.
The USSF found that three of the NASL teams had binding contracts to play in the USL First Division in 2010, leaving the NASL with too few teams to be sanctioned. However, this left the USL First Division with only six teams, also too few for sanctioning. The USSF stripped the USL First Division of its sanctioning, and denied sanctioning to the NASL. After a week of negotiations among the three, the USSF agreed to run a 12-team interim league for 2010. The six extant teams in each league would each occupy their own conference, but teams belonging to both leagues would play each other.
Each round of the playoffs was a two-game aggregate goal series (the away goals rule
will not be applied as a tie-breaker). In the event that the aggregate score is tied after the second game of the series, the teams played two 15-minutes periods of extra time
. If the score is still tied after extra time, the series was to be decided by a penalty shootout.

Pods
It was announced that the season will be centered around what are called pods. The pods are constructed around geographic regions and do not follow conference lines. Teams within the same pod played each other four times, twice at home and twice away. Teams played one team outside of their pod four times, twice at home and twice away, and played the rest of the teams outside their pod twice, once at home and once away. This resulted in a thirty-game season for each team. The season ended a playoff format to crown a league champion.| Pod | Teams |
