Draft notes[]

The supplemental draft was preceded by a two-day tournament at Lockhart Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, sponsored by Umbro and intended to bring together the best seniors in college soccer.^[1]

It was intended that the supplemental draft would facilitate: "selection of players who just completed their college eligibility or who recently submitted their names into the draft pool". After it had taken place, each team had four additional players on a provisional roster of 24. This would be cut down to 20 before the season began.^[2]

Draft host Tony DiCicco reminded disappointed candidates who were not selected that each team would still hold open try-outs before their rosters were finalized: "the process is not over". He said that an agreement on WUSA's formal affiliation with the USL W-League and Women's Premier Soccer League was close.
