The NWSL has announced the order of the dispersal draft to take place tomorrow, January 30, at 4 PM ET. This follows on the news that the Breakers will cease operations, effective immediately, and will not participate in the 2018 NWSL season.
Draft order was determined by drawing of lots. Playoff teams from 2017 had their names entered once each and non-playoff teams had their names entered twice. After the order is determined, teams are allowed to trade draft picks. Draft order will go in a “snake” method, meaning 1-9 will pick, then 9-1. Teams may pass on selecting any players in the draft.
