The United States Football League said Wednesday it will open training camps in Florida, Arizona and California on Jan. 31 in preparation for its 108-game inaugural season that begins March 6.
Twelve teams, competing in three divisions, play an 18-game schedule of nine home and nine away contests in a regular season grind that ends July 3. The three division winners plus a wild card team play in the July 9-10 semifinal playoffs with the championship game scheduled for July 17.
In league openers on March 6, Boston is at Tampa Bay, Chicago at Washington, New Jersey at Los Angeles, Oakland at Arizona and Philadelphia at Denver. Birmingham entertains Michigan on Monday night, March 7. The schedule calls for four games to be played on Friday night, 20 each on Saturday and Monday nights and 64 on Sundays.
Two rules differ from National Football League regulations. The USFL will have a two-point conversion attempt after touchdowns and kickers have the option of using a 1-inch kicking tee on placement attempts.
