2012 MLS Supplemental Draft
The 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft was a secondary draft that was held by Major League Soccer via conference call on January 17, 2012.[1] The draft was four rounds and all 19 MLS clubs participated.
Changes from 2011[]
- As an expansion club, Montreal received the first pick in the Supplemental Draft.
- Due to the league shortening the 2012 MLS SuperDraft from three rounds to two rounds, the Supplemental Draft was increased from three rounds to four rounds. Previously traded SuperDraft Round 3 picks became Supplemental Draft Round 1 picks.[2]
Selection Order[]
The official selection order was set by Major League Soccer on October 21, 2011:
- 2012 expansion team Montreal Impact had the first selection;
- The eight clubs which did not qualify for the playoffs received picks #2 through #9 (in reverse order of season points);
- The two clubs eliminated in the Wild Card round of playoffs received picks #10 and #11 (in reverse order of season points);
- The four clubs eliminated in the Conference Semifinals received picks #12 through #15 (in reverse order of season points);
- The two clubs eliminated in the Conference Finals received picks #16 and #17 (in reverse order of season points);
- The club which lost the 2011 MLS Cup received pick #18;
