Overview Thirteen of a possible 14 NASL teams participated. Fort Lauderdale was the only non-participant in the 18-game regular season. The Los Angeles Aztecs and the Minnesota Kicks had been scheduled to participate but were unable to do so, due to mounting financial issues. By early December both teams had folded. Other changes in the indoor structure included the separating of the teams into two conferences, each with two divisions. The Atlantic Conference contained the East and Central Divisions, while the Pacific Conference held the West and Northwest Divisions. During the regular season teams played eighteen matches within their conference only. Four teams from each conference advanced to the playoffs, which included the two division winners, along with the two non-division winners with the best won-loss record.NASL to proceed with season sans three https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=XodUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=QY8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3380,3189773&hl=en Ellensburg Daily Record Google News Archive Search November 5, 1981 12 September 24, 2016NASL cuts indoor entries https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19811205&id=XJ0cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=F2gEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6795,2311067 The Spokesman-Review Google News Archive Search November 5, 1981 42 September 24, 2016Brockmann John Rowdies Indoor Opener With Manic Is A Sellout https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19811205&id=XJ0cAAAAIBAJ&sjid=F2gEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6795,2311067 Sarasota Herald-Tribune Google News Archive Search December 5, 1981 14-B October 24, 2016 The championship series was broadcast live on ESPN.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz7TpICRI50 San Diego Sockers vs Tampa Bay Rowdies, 1982 NASL Indoor Finals, Game 1 eddiebear60 June 26, 2016 September 24, 2016 YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyI7yNaeuc San Diego Sockers vs Tampa Bay Rowdies, 1982 NASL Indoor Finals, Game 2 eddiebear60 March 23, 2013 September 24, 2016 YouTube The San Diego Sockers won the championship with a two-game finals sweep of the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
