The draft was preceded by an invitation-only combine held over five days at Florida Atlantic University. Although over 500 players applied, only 198 were invited to take part in supervised training and scrimmages. Around 40 of the players had previously been competing in the pro–am Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL), while most of the others were competing at W-League level.

The draft assigned the rights of 15 players to each team. Teams could contract up to five of the players immediately, to start promotional work in their home cities. WUSA's vice president of legal affairs, Rob Kaler, had decided the draft order by randomly selecting envelopes containing each team's logo in a lottery.
