For the playoffs, the four top seeded teams faced each other in semifinal games with championship being decided between the two winners.

The APSL also organized a Fall Season that ran from September to December.

The APSL was organized in a mostly decentralized structure and was managed as a team-run league.

Each year the member clubs helped elect a Commissioner, Treasurer and Secretary.

Each team was individually owned and operated, and was responsible for maintaining league minimum standards.
