Editing MLS SuperDraft (section)

== Rules of draft selection ==

The draft process for the SuperDraft closely resembles the [[NFL draft]]. Below is the process for the [[2023 MLS SuperDraft]]:

#Any [[expansion team|expansion club]] automatically gets the first pick; should there be two expansion teams, a coin toss determines who picks first in the SuperDraft and who picks first in the expansion draft.
#Teams that did not make the playoffs are ordered by their regular-season record.
#Teams that made the [[MLS Cup playoffs]] are then ordered by which round of the playoffs they are eliminated.
#The winners of the [[MLS Cup]] are given the last selection, and the losers the penultimate selection.
#Remaining ties are broken by the goal differential, goals scored, goals conceded, and then the flip of a coin.
