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.http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules 2011 MLS Roster Rules | Major League Soccer Mlssoccer.com May 6, 2012 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20110430101816/http://www.mlssoccer.com/2011-mls-roster-rules April 30, 2011 International roster slots Portland has 8 MLS International Roster Slots for use in the 2012 season.
