1994 U.S. Interregional Soccer League (outdoor) season

Each team had a 20-game schedule, with two games counting as Designated Makeup Games (DMGs). DMGs are plugged in for any game that was cancelled during the season.

Teams in the Northeast and Midwest have points that reflect the addition of a 1-point corner kick bonus per game. The standings published by the USISL list only the wins, losses, goals scored, goals allowed and total points. They do not provide the number of wins or losses that came through shootouts. They also do not provide the number of bonus points coming from goals or corner kicks.[https://www.rsssf.org/usadave/usisl.html Outdoor scoring system (1989–1995)]{{Cite web |url=http://www.uslsoccer.com/docs/2013%20USL%20Media%20Guide_Web.pdf |title=2013 USL Media Guide – compare 1993 and 1994 PDL standings with the 1992 and 1995 PDL standings. |access-date=2013-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207053310/http://www.uslsoccer.com/docs/2013%20USL%20Media%20Guide_Web.pdf |archive-date=2013-12-07 |url-status=dead }}

• Regulation win = 6 points

• Shootout loss (SL) = 2 points
• Regulation loss = 0 points
• Bonus points (BP): An additional one point per goal up to a maximum of three points per game.
• Northeast Division and Midwest Division teams received one point per corner kick each game.
