Sky Blue FC will get the first overall selection in Tuesday’s National Women’s Soccer League dispersal draft of the Boston Breakers.
The team was awarded that pick as the league held a weighted draw Monday to determine the dispersal draft order.
The draft will begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday, and the league will utilize a snake method for the selection process. In other words, for the second round, the team at the bottom of the first-round list, in this case, the North Carolina Courage, will pick first, Orlando second, etc.

Draft rules
Assets available via draft include the following:
* Players under contract with NWSL whose rights are assigned to Boston (including allocated players)
* Players whose rights are controlled by Boston (including retired players)
* Rights to players on Boston’s Discovery List
* The dispersal draft will last until all teams have passed or no players or other assets are available for selection.
Each team will have two minutes to make its selection.
No time-outs will be permitted.
Teams may not make trades during the draft.
Teams are permitted to “pass” when it is their turn to make a selection. Once a team has passed on a selection, the team forfeits the remainder of its selections in the dispersal draft.
