# 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. 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.

## 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;
* The club which won the 2011 MLS Cup received pick #19.
This selection order held for all four rounds of the Supplemental Draft.

## Note on SuperDraft Trades

MLS reduced the 2012 MLS SuperDraft from three rounds to two rounds on October 21, 2011, which in turn affected trades involving 2012 SuperDraft Round 3 and Round 4 selections. These selections became 2012 Supplemental Draft Round 1 and Round 2 selections.
