    The 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft is a secondary draft that will be held by Major League Soccer via conference call on January 17, 2012. The draft will be four rounds with all 19 MLS clubs participating.

    Changes from 2011
    As an expansion club, Montreal receives 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 has been increased from three rounds to four rounds. Previously traded SuperDraft Round 3 picks have become Supplemental Draft Round 1 picks.

    Selection Order

    The official selection order was set by Major League Soccer on October 21, 2011:
    1. 2012 expansion team Montreal Impact has the first selection;

    2. The eight clubs which do not qualify for the playoffs receive picks #2 through #9 (in reverse order of season points);

    3.The two clubs eliminated in the Wild Card round of playoffs receive picks #10 and #11 (in reverse order of season points);

    4.The four clubs eliminated in the Conference Semifinals receive picks #12 through #15 (in reverse order of season points);

    5.The two clubs eliminated in the Conference Finals receive picks #16 and #17 (in reverse order of season points);

    6.The club which loses the 2011 MLS Cup receives pick #18;

    7.The club which wins the 2011 MLS Cup receives pick #19.

    This selection order holds for all four rounds of the Supplemental Draft.
