both terms are used in the article. is one more correct than the other? Skippypeanuts ( talk) 16:17, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
How come this article is using the "W-D-L" format for standings when the MLS official site uses the "W-L-T" format? KitHutch ( talk) 00:43, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
As it stands right now, the wording isn't 100% clear to me on which team would get a spot should another team qualify in multiple manners or if a Canadian team gets involved. For example, say this year the New York Red Bulls won both the Supporters' Shield and the MLS Cup; the second place team in the East is DC United, the top two in the West is Dallas and LA (with LA better than DC), and the MLS Cup runner-up is KC the US Open Cup winner. All it says in the overall table notes is that "Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy one of the first three spots, then the next best US team would take its place." Are the spots resolved in the order listed (MLS Cup, Supporter's Shield, other conference champ, US Open Cup), which would mean the spots would go NYRB/Dallas/LA/KC? Are the spots determined by when that particular competition finishes, which would mean KC via US Open Cup, NYRB and Dallas by conference topping, and then...Philadelphia by US Open Cup runner-up because both NYRB and KC have spots by other means? Sorry, I'm just confused in general and haven't been able to find a source explaining. 160.93.70.20 ( talk) 16:36, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
My understanding is that it drops a place down the combined league table. So if a Canadian club wins a conference, it is possible nobody from conference may qualify for the Champions' League.

I dont understand how they play, why they play only 34 games when there are 20 teams => 19 x 2 = 38 games. Portland Timbers played 3 teams with LA Galaxy... how ? Maybe someone can explain to me...-- Alexiulian25 ( talk) 00:17, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
All teams play every other team in MLS. They play each of the teams in the other conference once. They play rivals three times. For other teams, teams play either twice or three times. For example, the Timbers played each of the 10 Eastern Conference teams once. They played Seattle and Vancouver (their rivals) three times. They played Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake three times. They played Colorado, Dallas, and San Jose twice. Wilkyisdashiznit ( talk) 23:26, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
