MLS Supplemental Draft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MLS Supplemental Draft had a number of incarnations:
From 1996 to 1999, all players playing in the United States currently playing professionally in the United Soccer Leagues were eligible for the MLS Supplemental Draft, where they could be selected by all Major League Soccer teams. Players graduating college were entered into a separate MLS College Draft. The division between the two was eliminated in 2000, when they were combined into a single MLS SuperDraft.

- 1997 MLS Supplemental Draft
- 1998 MLS Supplemental Draft
- 1999 MLS Supplemental Draft
In 2003, MLS held a Supplemental draft to distribute players who were signed by the league after the SuperDraft.
Since 2005, with the expansion of developmental rosters, the creation of reserve teams, and contractual limits on the length of the MLS Superdraft included in the MLS Players Union Contract, MLS re-instituted the Supplemental draft, to be held after the SuperDraft.
