NationMaster - Encyclopedia: MLS SuperDraft

The MLS SuperDraft is an annual event in which the Major League Soccer teams select players who have graduated from college or otherwise been signed by the league. The SuperDraft was first instituted in 2000, as a combination of the MLS College Draft, in which players having graduated college were selected, and the MLS Supplemental Draft, in which all other players were chosen. The draft is divided into six rounds of ten picks, the order of which is determined by a combination of the teams' playoff and regular season positions.
