Why does MLS have two drafts?

Here's the funny thing: The term "Superdraft" originated in 2000 because they combined the college draft and the supplemental draft from 1999 into one "super" draft. Since the supplemental draft has been separated back out of it, it's really not that "super" any more.

(Actually, I'm pretty sure the supplemental draft in 1999 and before was more specialized than just "three more rounds". Still, I think it's funny how it worked out.)

It is/was actually in the CBA now, so it has to be called that, at least by MLS and the Union.
