dumbrabbit":3m02fjyn said:Thanks for the explanation. When would the Allocation Order be used instead of a DP? Why doesn't Xavi qualify for the Allocation Order?
Allocation order is used almost exclusively for US Internationals returning to MLS after playing abroad.
The only thing outside of this is if two clubs put in claims on the same player on the same day.
Xavi won't qualify for the allocation order because:
A: He's Spanish.
and
B: His Salary will be over the league threshold for DP's....also known as The Dempsey Rule.
