Rnd. Pick Player Pos. Team School

Homegrown players

The Homegrown Player Rule is a Major League Soccer program that allows MLS teams to sign local players from their own development academies directly to MLS first team rosters. Before the creation of the rule in 2008,[23] every player entering Major League Soccer had to be assigned through one of the existing MLS player allocation processes, such as the MLS SuperDraft.

To place a player on its homegrown player list, making him eligible to sign as a homegrown player, players must have resided in that club's home territory and participated in the club's youth development system for at least one year.[24] Players can play college soccer and still be eligible to sign a homegrown contract.

Original MLS team Player Pos. School Ref.
gollark: I can impose memory/CPU limits per-"contract" but NOT easily stop people making 189621782638 evil contracts.
gollark: That is a problem I suppose, yes.
gollark: I think that would work?
gollark: Anyway, the centralized version would not be very blockchainy but just a thing to execute sandboxed JS with connectivity to Krist and publicly visible source code.
gollark: I see.
