One month earlier, MLS had contracted two clubs:Tampa Bay Mutiny andMiami Fusion. In conjunction with the contraction, the league conducted both an allocation draft and a dispersal draft in which the top 2002 SuperDraft picks of Tampa Bay and Miami, as well as players from those clubs, were made available to remaining MLS clubs.
MLS distributed the players of the Miami Fusion and the Tampa Bay Mutiny to the rest of the league via an allocation draft that took place on January 11, 2002, where teams with excessallocations were allowed to select from their players; the participants and the selection order for the draft were announced three days before the draft was conducted.[1]
