Miscellany edit

Allocation ranking edit

Seattle is in the No. 3 position in the MLS Allocation Ranking. It swapped its natural position, No. 15, with Chivas USA in the Shalrie Joseph trade. The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a U.S. National Team player who signs with MLS after playing abroad, or a former MLS player who returns to the league after having gone to a club abroad for a transfer fee. A ranking can be traded, provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club's ranking.[31]

International roster slots edit

Seattle has eight MLS International Roster Slots for use in the 2013 season. Each club in Major League Soccer is allocated eight international roster spots and Seattle traded an international spot to Montreal Impact in return for Lamar Neagle.
