Formation
Having been denied as expansion clubs by the National Premier Soccer League, AFC Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids FC entered discussions with other regional teams about starting up a league of their own.[1] The first league meeting occurred on Saturday, January 17th 2015 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Two weeks later, the league announced a starting line-up of five clubs.[2]
Format
A double-round robin format was used by the league. The team with the most points at the end of the season was crowned league champions. There were no playoffs.
