Where Dallas Tornado sat in the pyramid, 1967 to 1981. A block marks a league season, placed on the year the season began and the division its league is recorded at; select one for that season. An empty column is a year with no league season on record. Cups are left out: a cup has no division.

Points per game by season. A league season only, oldest first. Points per game rather than points, because the schedule has run anywhere from 20 games to 34. Points are as the league awarded them, which has not always been three for a win. Select a column for that season; the table below carries every figure.
