The 2015–16 Major Arena Soccer League season is the eighth season for the league and the second since six teams from the former Major Indoor Soccer League defected to what was formerly called the Professional Arena Soccer League. The regular season started on October 24, 2015, and is scheduled to end on February 28, 2016. Each team will play a 20-game schedule. Also it is the 38th season of professional Division 1 indoor soccer in the USA and the second season for the MASL as the top league. ==Teams== Many of the 22 teams that completed the 2014–15 season returned for the 2015–16 season.〔〔〔 Teams not returning this season include Rochester Lancers, Wichita B-52s, Tulsa Revolution, and Monterrey Flash. In April 2015, Baltimore Blast owner Ed Hale announced that his team was withdrawing from the MASL to form a new league.〔 No other teams announced their departure and the proposed new league never formed. The Blast quietly rejoined the league after agreeing to pay a fine. The Detroit Waza relocated to Flint, Michigan, and are operating this season as simply Waza Flo.〔 The expansion Sonora Suns based in Hermosillo, Connecticut-based Hartford City FC, Iowa-based Cedar Rapids Rampage, and Tijuana-based Atletico Baja were formally accepted for membership in the MASL.〔〔 The fledgling Youngstown Nighthawks based in Ohio aimed to join the league but encountered financial issues.〔 On October 28, 2015, the MASL announced that Hartford City FC would not be permitted to enter the league this season and began league-wide schedule changes to replace the failed franchise.〔〔 A new ownership group hoped to revive the team for the 2016–17 season.〔 Unlike last season where some Eastern Division teams played with a variable-point scoring system, for 2015–16 the whole MASL will play with standard soccer scoring using goals, not points.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015–16 Major Arena Soccer League season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
