RED WOLVES SC
Chattanooga, TN 37402 
www.chattredwolves.com
P: (423) 541-1660

TEAM OUTLOOK
Chattanooga Red Wolves SC developed a reputation as an excit-
ing, attacking side in 2020 during Jimmy Obleda’s first year as Head
Coach, aiming to entertain and scoring the third-most goals per game
in League One. The team’s swashbuckling style led to impressive wins
over Richmond (twice) and Omaha, but its habit of conceding late
goals meant Chattanooga finished in fifth.

The Red Wolves had one of League One’s most interesting offsea-
sons, bringing in a mixture of players both young and experienced,
offensive and defensive, and North and South American. Forward Rafa
Mentzingen and midfielder Jose Carrera Garcia boast USL Champion-
ship experience, while Jorge Luna and former U.S. youth international
Jonathan Esparza were brought in to bolster the backline. Colombian
striker Juan Galindrez adds an element to an attack which will have to
make up for the loss of striker Greg Hurst, who bagged eight goals
for the team last year before departing for Union Omaha.

The club’s 11 new signings join proven returners like Marky Hernandez,
Jonathan Ricketts, and 2020 League One All-League Selection Ricky
Ruiz as Chattanooga looks to reach the postseason for the first time in
2021.

Mentzingen recorded six goals and seven assists on his way to
@chattredwolves
becoming a League One All-League selection in 2019. The Brazilian
playmaker spent the 2020 season in the USL Championship with
Memphis 901 FC before returning to League One this offseason. With
the departure of both Greg Hurst and Steven Beattie from the Red
Wolves squad, Chattanooga will look to Mentzingen to be a prima-
ry creator of goals, assists, and chances, something he’s shown he’s
more than capable of doing in his career thus far.

FC TUCSON
Tucson, AZ 85713
www.fctucson.com
P: (520) 600-3095

TEAM OUTLOOK
Tucson spent the 2020 campaign in the thick of the midtable, finishing
in sixth - the same distance of seven points from second-place Union
Omaha and 10th-place Fort Lauderdale CF. The team built positive mo-
mentum during the second half of the season, winning four times and
losing only once in its final eight games. Entering its second season under
Head Coach John Galas, the team will look to begin its 2021 slate in similar
fashion.

The biggest offseason shift at FC Tucson took place in the boardroom,

with the club’s ownership transferring from Phoenix Rising FC to Benevo-
lent Sports Tucson, LLC, making it Tucson’s only independent professional
sports team.

There were changes on the field too. Goalkeeper Carlos Merancio and
defender Niall Logue each joined Championship clubs, while Azaad
Liadi, Josh Coan, and Esteban Calvo joined other League One sides. But
midfield linchpin Charlie Dennis signed a new deal to keep him at the
club, and Wallis Lapsley, himself a Championship goalkeeper last season,
is a ready-made replacement for Merancio between the posts. Standouts
Shak Adams and Sam Biek are also staying put, and Dominican Republic
international Gerard Lavergne is another intriguing addition in midfield.

After finishing in eighth and sixth during League One’s first two seasons,
the aim for 2021 in Tucson is to close the gap to the teams at the top.

Shak Adams
Forward @fctucson
At 22-years-old, Adams is a bright young attacker with a nose for
goal. He showed those attributes with Tucson last season, tallying
four goals and two assists in 12 appearances. With the departure of
both Azaad Liadi and Josh Coan for other League One clubs, more
of the scoring load will fall on Adams’ shoulders this season, and
Tucson will need him fit and firing from the start.

LAUDERDALE CF
Miami, FL 33134
www.intermiamicf.com

TEAM OUTLOOK
Fort Lauderdale didn’t challenge at the upper end of the table during
the club’s inaugural League One season in 2020, but the team was
home to some of the best young talent in American soccer. The pre-
cocious duo of Ian Fray and Edison Azcona both earned Homegrown
contracts with the club’s senior team Inter Miami CF of Major League
Soccer, after each featured among the League One All-League selec-
tions.

This season, they’ll again be stocked with young talent. Among the
key returners are Sami Guediri and Brian Rosales, each of whom start-
ed in 14 of the team’s 16 matches last season, and Francisco Raggio,
who was one of the first two players signed to professional contracts
with Fort Lauderdale from the Inter Miami CF Academy.

Defender Ethan Hardin, who excelled as an Academy registered play-

er last season, returns as well, while Braxton Najib joins as an Acade-
my signing after making six appearances with Birmingham Legion FC
in the USL Championship during the 2020 campaign.

This season, Fort Lauderdale will aim to continue providing its top
young players with a high-level platform for exposure while trying to
push up the table and end the year among the playoff places.

in passing accuracy (90.7 percent). The young defender also had the

MADISON FC
Madison, WI 53703
www.forwardmadisonfc.com
P: (608) 204-0855

TEAM OUTLOOK
In its first two seasons, Forward Madison took American soccer by storm
with its colorful identity, creative kits, and passionate fanbase, leading
League One in attendance in 2019. After finishing fourth and reaching the
playoffs that year, the club’s on-field performance dipped in 2020, with the
Flamingos finishing seventh. The team was solid at the back, allowing only
14 goals - the second-fewest in League One. But goals proved hard to
come by at the other end of the field, and the team’s struggle with turning
draws into wins prevented it from challenging at the top end of the table.

Madison’s 2021 outlook appears as bright as its pink-and-blue color

scheme, however. New Head Coach Carl Craig has an exciting and
talented squad at his disposal, with a good mix of youth and experience.
The key pieces of last season’s strong defense are all still there, including
Christian Diaz, Jiro Toyama, Connor Tobin, and Trinidad and Tobago inter-
national Josiah Trimmingham. Talented youngsters Michael Vang and Noah
Fuson both brought creativity to the squad last year, while the attack has
a new look with the addition of proven League One goal-scorer Jake Kee-
gan from Greenville and former USL Championship striker Derek Gebhard.

Madison’s target for 2021 seems to be a simple one: make the playoffs and
challenge for a title.

Forward @forwardmadisonfc
With 14 League One goals to his name across two seasons with
Greenville Triumph SC, Keegan doesn’t need to prove to anyone
that he can put the ball in the back of the net. A key member of the
Triumph SC team that won the title in 2020, Keegan joined Madison
during the offseason and will be one of the centerpieces of new
Head Coach Carl Craig’s revamped attack. The Flamingos struggled
to score goals at times last year, and Keegan may just be the perfect
remedy for that problem.

TRIUMPH SC
Greenville, SC 29601
https://www.greenvilletriumph.com
P: (864) 203-0565

TEAM OUTLOOK
Under its U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame Head Coach John Harkes, Triumph
SC was a dominant force in League One last season, topping the
table from start to finish on its way to lifting the trophy as title-winners.
The team was immaculately balanced from back to front, and found
ways to win games time and again when it looked as though they
might have to settle for a point.

Following last season’s success, the old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t
fix it,” sums up Greenville’s offseason. The club re-signed Harkes
through 2023, and brought back the vast majority of its key players,
including Dallas Jaye, Aaron Walker, Brandon Fricke, Evan Lee, Tyler
Polak, Noah Pilato, Alex Morrell, and Lachlan McLean among others.

The most notable departure, which saw striker Jake Keegan join For-
ward Madison, was covered by the addition of experienced League
One goal-scorer Don Smart from the Flamingos and Marios Lomis
from North Carolina FC. A repeat, of course, will not be easy, but
Triumph SC has all the pieces to make a run at a place in the League
One Final for a third consecutive season.

TEAM OUTLOOK
During its inaugural League One season in 2020, the young New En-
gland Revolution II squad got off to a slow start before putting together
one of the season’s highlights - a four-game win streak in September
and October which saw Revs II defeat both Union Omaha and the
Richmond Kickers. The team also beat Greenville Triumph SC at Gillette
Stadium in July, one of just three teams to defeat the eventual title-win-
ners last season.

Standouts Collin Verfurth, Jon Bell, and Maciel all signed with the New
England Revolution’s First Team in Major League Soccer during the
offseason, but plenty of talent remains. Goalkeeper Joe Rice compiled
the fourth-most saves in League One last season and should once again
feature between the posts, while Connor Presley, Ryan Spaulding and
Tiago Mendonca will also return. Haitain youth international Francois
Dulysse is an intriguing addition to a defensive unit which Head Coach
Clint Peay will be looking to tighten up this season.

Mendonca showcased his ability in New England’s 4-0 demolition of
the Richmond Kickers at City Stadium last season. The Portuguese
midfielder did yeoman’s work that day, leading his side with five
clearances and winning possession 12 times to earn a spot on League
One’s Team of the Week for Week 12. If he can continue to produce
similar performances, he could very well be due for a breakout cam-
paign for the Revolution II in 2021.

TEAM OUTLOOK
North Carolina FC returned to the USL Championship in 2018, and has since
maintained an impressive record of results on the field while remaining true
to its ethos of developing young players. In January, the club announced
its move to USL League One ahead of the 2021 season to further bolster its
efforts in creating a youth to pro pipeline for the greater Raleigh area.

On March 23, NCFC announced 15 products of its youth system had signed
USL Academy contracts with the first team, providing an unprecedented
number of young players with access to professional training and matchday
environments. In a new league and with so many young players, the club’s
veterans will have a more important role than ever this season.

Club captain and NCFC icon Nazmi Albadawi returns for his seventh season
with the team this year. Midfield general Pecka, who played in nearly every
match for NCFC in the Championship last season and led the team in assists,
is also set to play a major role in the team’s fortunes. The most exciting of
the new additions may be Josh Coan, himself an NCFC Academy product
who returns to his hometown club after a promising first season as a profes-
sional with FC Tucson, for whom he scored four goals in 2020.

Curacao international Shermaine Martina is another promising new face

in the dressing room at WakeMed Soccer Park. Brimming with young and
hungry talent, this NCFC squad will be looking to make an impact right away
during its first League One campaign.

TEAM OUTLOOK
2019 League One title-winner North Texas SC has showcased some of
the best young talent in American soccer during the last two seasons.
2019 standouts Tanner Tessmann and Bryan Reynolds have moved on to
the FC Dallas First Team and AS Roma in Serie A respectively. 17-year-
old Justin Che, the youngest selection to last year’s League One All-
League First Team, is also currently on loan at Bayern Munich II.

League One’s all-time leading scorer Ronaldo Damus and 2019 League
One Most Valuable Player Arturo Rodriguez departed North Texas for
the USL Championship this offseason. For most teams, the loss of that
much talent might be worrisome, but Head Coach Eric Quill has a knack
for knowing which players are ready to step in and fill the shoes of those
moving on.

North Texas was League One’s highest-scoring team last season and
finished third, joining Greenville as the only clubs to achieve top-three
finishes in each of League One’s first two seasons. As the club aims to
make it three-in-a-row, North Texas brought in a trio of signings from
South American clubs during the offseason. Forward Alejandro San-
tana Viniegra and defenders Juan Jose Parra and Christian Ferreira will
bring fresh energy to the side, joining proven returners like Alisson, Alex
Bruce, Gibran Rayo, and Derek Waldeck.

A tough defensive midfielder, Alisson is instrumental for Head Coach
Eric Quill’s side in breaking up opposition play. In 2020, he led the
team in interceptions and tackles won while ranking third in duels
won and second in aerial duels won. For a side that likes to attack in
numbers, it’s often up to Alisson to provide the first line of defensive
cover, and it’s a job he did well last season.

P: (804) 644-5425

TEAM OUTLOOK
The Kickers were the second-best team in League One behind Greenville
for most of the 2020 season, but faltered down the stretch, losing four of
their final six games. However, last year’s campaign still represented a big
step in the right direction for Richmond, who improved upon a ninth-place
finish in 2019 to come fourth in their first campaign under Head Coach Dar-
ren Sawatzky.

Argentine striker Emiliano Terzaghi was a key contributor to the River City
side, scoring 10 goals on his way to picking up the league’s MVP and Gold-
en Boot honors. During the offseason, the Kickers added two more Argen-
tines in Hernan Gonzalez and Zaca Moran. The club built out its depth chart
with proven League One players at just about every position: goalkeeper
Austin Aviza and defender Juan Pablo Monticelli arrived from Orlando City
B, defender Esteban Calvo from FC Tucson, and midfielder Nil Vinyals from
Tormenta FC are just a few of many new faces at City Stadium this season.

Besides Terzaghi, multiple other Richmond mainstays remained with the

team. Ian Antley, Ivan Magalhaes, Luke Pavone, and goalkeeper Akira Fitz-
gerald return to the defensive unit, Matt Bolduc and Victor Falck will once
again feature in midfield, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines striker Oalex
Anderson is back for his first full season with the Kickers. After the disap-
pointment of coming up short last season, this is a hungry group aiming at
postseason success.

failed to keep a single clean sheet. The team has plenty of other

A strong and quick fullback, Antley will be instrumental to Darren

TORMENTA FC

www.tormentafc.com
P: (912) 871-1000

TEAM OUTLOOK
South Georgia Tormenta FC’s emphasis on player development has been
clear to anyone who has paid attention to the club in recent years. Nine
players on the club’s 2020 League One roster had experience with Tor-
menta FC 2 in USL League Two, and a further three were products of the
Tormenta FC Academy. Tormenta struggled for consistency during a 2020
campaign which brought an eighth-place finish, but showed real promise
toward the tail-end of the season after Ian Cameron was appointed Head
Coach.

In the club’s final six games of 2020 under Cameron, Tormenta earned
impressive wins away to Richmond and at home to New England Revo-
lution II, snapping a five-game unbeaten run for New England. Ahead of
Cameron’s first full season in charge, the Statesboro side has its sights set
on moving up the table in 2021.

In pursuit of that aim, the team kept key figures like Pablo Jara, Marco Mi-
caletto, Luca Mayr, Curtis Thorn, and Ricardo Gomez around. The addition
of striker Azaad Liadi, who scored three goals for FC Tucson last season,
will bring a new dynamic to the team’s attack, while fellow offseason arriv-
als Luis Rodriguez and Carlos Avilez give Cameron options at center back
and goalkeeper.

Golden Boot race in 2019, scored three goals in five appearances
for the USL Championship’s San Antonio FC, while midfielder Adolfo
Ovalle played nine times for Forward Madison FC.

The club’s 2021 roster features plenty of Toronto FC Academy prod-

ucts who have earned their first chance to play at the professional
level, and other members of the 2019 squad who went out on loan
to get playing time during TFC II’s hiatus last year. If the team’s 2019

TEAM OUTLOOK
As League One’s only independent expansion side in 2020, Union
Omaha took the league by storm, starting and ending the season on
unbeaten runs of eight and five games, respectively. The Owls finished
second under Head Coach Jay Mims, and will return most of their key
players from last season. All-League selections Evan Conway, Ethan
Vanacore-Decker, Rashid Nuhu, and Damia Viader are all back with
los Buhos in 2021, alongside a host of other key returners.

The club hasn’t brought in many new faces, but the ones it has are
certainly eye-catching. Scottish striker Greg Hurst, whose eight goals
for Chattanooga Red Wolves SC were the second-most in League
One last year, will provide an extra punch to the Omaha attack. For-
mer Major League Soccer player Conor Doyle also joined the Owls
from Chattanooga, adding quality and experience to the midfield
corps.

With a dedicated local fanbase and a talented squad, Union Omaha’s

target in its sophomore season is to replicate what Greenville did in its
last year: lift the League One trophy.

RULES &

RULES & REGULATIONS

DISCIPLINE & CONDUCT

League Disciplinary Power

The League shall have the authority to suspend, fine, disqualify, or otherwise discipline players, team officials, or competing Teams for On-Field Misconduct and
for off-field misconduct deemed by the League to be detrimental to the League, any Team, or the sport of soccer (“Detrimental Off-Field Misconduct”).
“On-Field Misconduct” shall include misconduct that occurs in any stadium or playing facility, in and/or around the stadium or playing facility (involving any
person(s) or property in or around the stadium or playing facility), including, but not limited to: the playing field, locker rooms, parking lots, spectator stands or
other spectator facilities, and other back-of-house and underground areas, including those used by television production and other media), and which occurs at,
during or in connection with any match or tournament in which the player competes.

The League Disciplinary Committee

The League Disciplinary Committee is a panel of League Directors covering the competition, operations, and compliance departments. As delegates of the
President, this committee makes decisions about discipline for Detrimental Off-Field Misconduct and On-Field Misconduct, subject to the review of the President.
The League Disciplinary Committee makes decisions with a view towards allowing for a competitive, but fair, environment for all Teams to compete against each
other.

Independent Disciplinary Panel

The Independent Disciplinary Panel is comprised of three outside members, consisting of a former professional coach, a former professional referee, and a
former professional player. This panel is charged with the responsibility of reviewing any disciplinary matters deemed worthy of increased disciplinary measures
(i.e. escalating a yellow card to a red card). Any disciplinary decisions rendered by the Independent Disciplinary Panel will be final and cannot be appealed.

Disciplinary Process
The League Disciplinary Committee reviews disciplinary issues (including all send-offs) reported by the Referee, in addition to other incidents of On-Field
Misconduct or Detrimental Off-Field Misconduct. The Disciplinary Committee conducts this review using match videos, official reports, individual accounts, and
other pertinent information. Depending on the timeliness of the reports and match videos, the Disciplinary Committee will make every effort to issue rulings on
cases in advance of the Team’s next League Game.

Player Caution Accumulation

Players exceeding the caution accumulation plateau(s) will begin serving their suspension in their next match. If a player receives two cautions in one match,
these cautions will not count toward a player’s caution accumulation total. The USL also reserves the right to reevaluate player accumulation plateaus for player
eligibility rulings, including playoffs, with the reserved power to postpone suspensions to the following season.

Players and staff accumulating the following number of caution/yellow cards throughout the season will be sanctioned as follows:

- Five total cautions - Fine

- Eight total cautions - one game suspension and fine
- 11 total cautions - two game suspension and fine
- 14 total cautions - three game suspension and fine
Caution accumulation suspensions can only affect regular-season games. For those players who reach a caution accumulation suspension at the end of the
sea-son that suspension will not be implemented in any potential playoff games that season. Accumulations will be wiped clean at the end of the season. If a
playerexceeds 14 cautions in a season, the league reserves the right to fine and suspend the player at its discretion.

Good Behavior Incentive

A player will automatically reduce his yellow card accumulation total by one yellow card each time he appears in five consecutive league games without a card
or supplemental discipline. For clarity, a player cannot have a negative yellow card accumulation total; the Good Behavior Incentive reset can only reset to a
zero-card total. This incentive will be automatically applied a maximum of three times through the course of the USL season.

For example, a player on his third caution of the season appearing in five consecutive league matches without receiving a card or supplemental discipline re-
moves one (1) caution from his cumulative total, leaving the player with a total of two. This player now has two remaining Good Behavior Incentive opportunities
for the 2018 Season. If that players completes five more consecutive league matches without receiving a card or supplemental discipline, one more caution is
removed from his cumulative total leaving the player a total of one caution and one more Good Behavior Incentive opportunity.

Serving Suspensions During the Regular Season

Any player and/or coach sent off/dismissed during a regular season game will be fined and will be suspended from the next league regular season game. A
person who serves as both player and coach may not return as a player or a coach until the suspension has been served. For the purposes of determining
accumulations and game suspensions, any games that count as part of a team’s official League schedule shall be utilized.

Final Regular Season Game Send-off

Any player or coach sent off in a final regular season match must serve the suspension in the first playoff match, unless the season is over, in which case the
suspension will be served in the team’s first League game the following season.

Suspension during the Playoffs

Any player and/or coach that is sent off or dismissed during the playoffs will be suspended from, at minimum, the next playoff game, unless the season is over, in
which case the suspension will be served, at minimum, in the team’s first League game the following season.

32 2021 USL LEAGUE ONE MEDIA GUIDE

Major Game Misconduct
The League Disciplinary Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may impose discipline (including fines and suspensions) against players, coaches or other
team staff for Major Game Misconduct, regardless of whether the misconduct in question resulted in a card being awarded by the Match Official or was included
in the Referee Game Report. “Major Game Misconduct” is defined by the League and may include, without limitation, fighting, provoking a fight, criticizing Match
Officials with words or gestures, entering the Match Officials’ locker room, physical contact with Match Officials separate from Referee Assault, using excessive
force, deliberate attempts to injure, spitting, provoking crowd disorders, profane language that can be heard by the crowd or broadcast audience, obscene
gestures, racist, homophobic, or derogatory comments, improper conduct during the national anthem, taunting, abuse of spectators and others, failure to leave
the field when instructed by the Match Official to do so, improper conduct following the award of a card, excessive delay tactics, excessive and obvious feigning
of injuries, or other unsportsmanlike conduct detrimental to the League and the sport of soccer in general.

Red Card and Second Yellow Card Appeal

Within 24 hours after the completion of a match, a team may request a review of a red card or the second yellow card, if a player or staff member receives two
yellow cards in a match, to rectify a case where a serious and obvious error has occurred.

Suspension and Fine Appeal

Within 24 hours after the USL League One distributes its Weekly Discipline Report, a team may appeal a suspension and/or fine that is greater than the
established minimum fine and suspension amounts. The USL League One must receive the appeal in writing via email.

Cross League and Competition Suspensions

Players joining the USL (on loan or through transfer) may be subject to any suspension that has been levied by other competitions. The USL shall determine if it
will permit a player who receives a red card or other supplemental discipline in another competition for an egregious act to play in USL matches. As per USSF
policy, supplemental discipline issued for referee assault/abuse shall preclude the suspended individual from participating in any soccer competition until the
suspension has expired.

Players who are suspended in any cup competition such as the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, Canadian Championship or CONCACAF Champions League are not
automatically suspended in the USL. The USL will independently review the action and suspension and have the right to implement supplemental discipline in the
USL Disciplinary Committee, if it determines the player’s behavior was deemed to be egregious.

LEAGUE ONE ROSTER REGULATIONS

Player Classifications
A. Professional Player
A professional player is a player who signs a professional registration form with the team’s applicable Federation, a professional player contract with the USL
League One and receives, or has received, payment beyond actual and necessary expenses for playing soccer. Players on loan are not deemed professional
players unless there is not a right to recall. A professional player may only be registered with one team and may play only for the team to which he is registered,
except in the following two instances:

1. Team has filed a completed loan agreement and supplement with the League Office.

2. Player competes for another team in an exhibition, all-star, benefit or some other non-League game with the consent of the team holding his contract.

B. Academy Players
In addition to the 30 Active Players allowed on the Master Roster, a team may register up to five (5) active Academy Players, which do not count against the 30
players on the Master Roster and are allowed to participate in all competitions. After the first five Academy Players rostered, Academy Players will count against
the Master Roster.

To be considered an Academy Player, all of the following must be in place: a) player is under the age of 21 as of the official start date of the current season, b)
player cannot compete (or have ever previously have competed) in any NCAA or NAIA university or college soccer program, and c) player has never been
signed or registered as a professional soccer player as recognized by FIFA. The Academy Player must play for a club which conducts its activities (home games
and/or training) within the team’s franchise territory or play for a club which has a documented affiliation with the team. In the latter scenario, the affiliated club
outside the territory of the team must not be in the territory of another League One team, and the team must register all documented affiliate clubs with the
League Office prior to the season or upon completion of the affiliation agreement. Additionally, teams with MLS affiliations can use the Academy Players of their
MLS affiliate.

No Academy Player may register or participate as an Academy Player with more than one League One club during a season. Academy players may not be
loaned.

Academy Players that are classified as international count against a team’s maximum of seven international players. Academy Players must be registered as
an amateur with the USL League One team or its formally-recognized MLS affiliate. Teams may make Academy Players active or inactive on the Master Roster.
Inactive Academy Players do not count towards the roster maximum or the international player maximum.
There cannot be more than five (5) Academy Players listed on the Game Day Lineup.

RULES &

RULES & REGULATIONS

Master Roster
A. Master Roster Guidelines
The Master Roster consists of up to 30 Active Players and is the official player roster of the team, as set by the USL League One. Inactive Players do not count
towards a team’s Master Roster.

A maximum of seven (7) players on the Master Roster may be International Players, pending the trade or sale of International Roster Spots.

A professional team must carry 12 or more professional players on its Master Roster. Each club is allowed two Permanent Loan Assignment spots that count
toward this minimum. These slots can be filled by players from any league, and these players cannot be recalled for any reason to meet the standard. Any
violation of this standard will result in a fine being assessed at the League’s discretion. Players loaned from leagues other than MLS with no right to recall also
count toward this minimum.

Active Players consist of properly registered players on USL League One contracts, players in on loan, and active Academy Players. Players who are signed to a
USL League One Standard Professional Player Contract and are not in on loan can only be active on the roster.

The only players that can be made inactive are players out on loan, in on-loan, or Academy Players. Inactive Players do not count against a team’s International
Player limit. In the interest of clarity, players on USL League One Professional contracts cannot be made inactive.

B. Master Roster Changes

Whenever a team makes a change to its Master Roster, notification must be sent to USL Registration. Changes are not approved until the USL League One
confirms via e-mail.

C. Master Roster Freeze

No incoming transaction or player movement is allowed after the Roster Freeze date, including but not limited to: signing a player, receiving a player on loan,
changing a player’s active/inactive status, and/or replacing players. All trades, transfers and/or loans between teams must be finalized and approved by the USL
League One prior to this time. The USL League One will not allow “deals in progress” or “extensions” to go beyond the deadline for any reason.

For purposes of visas and other pending documentation for incoming players, ALL documents must be approved by the USL League One, and if warranted,
by Major League Soccer and the U.S. Soccer Federation, prior to the Roster Freeze deadline. All players must be completely active on the Master Roster to
compete in the USL League One for the remainder of the season.

The date of the Roster Freeze is September 24th, 2021 at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

Any MLS player legitimately on the final Master Roster of a USL League One team at the time of the Roster Freeze date will be permitted to compete for the
League One for the rest of the season, regardless of whether or not that player is subsequently traded or transferred to another MLS team. In this instance, a
newly executed loan agreement is required by the USL League One. However, if a player is sold or released from his contract with MLS, this will terminate the
player’s loan with the USL League One team.

Any field player on loan from any other team (including intra-League loans) must play a minimum of five (5) games during the regular season to be eligible to
play in the playoffs. One of these games must occur prior to the roster freeze date. This standard does not apply to goalkeepers.

Any League One player who is sold to an MLS team after the Roster Freeze deadline may rejoin the League One team on loan for the remainder of the season,
as long as he assumes the spot on the roster he vacated when he was sold by the club. As long as the player played in a minimum of five (5) games during the
season, either prior or after being sold, he is eligible to play in the playoffs.

SPECIAL EXEMPTION (GOALKEEPERS): In the unlikely event that a team is reduced to a single “available and healthy” goalkeeper due to National Team call-up
or medically-verifiable injury, the team may petition the USL League One in writing to be permitted to add a backup goalkeeper to its Master Roster. This may
only be done in the event that at least two eligible and healthy goalkeepers are active with the club, participating in regular team activities, not on loan with
another team, and listed on the final Master Roster submitted at the time of the Roster Freeze date. This backup goalkeeper will be permitted to remain on the
team’s roster until such time that one or more of the originally rostered goalkeepers becomes available and is able to compete. The USL League One will have
the power to reject the addition of a goalkeeper in this situation, if it feels its primary intent is to create a competitive advantage.

Player Loans
Loans may not extend beyond the length of the guaranteed contract or option term, provided the option has been exercised. Loan cancellation terms are
outlined in the Loan Agreement. Academy Players may not be loaned.

Loan Guidelines
League One > League One: Each team is permitted to receive or loan a maximum of two players under contract from/to each League One team in any given
season. An individual player may not be intra-league loaned more than one time per season.

League One > MLS: There is no restriction on the number of League One players a team may send to compete in MLS. All loaned players shall remain on the
League One team’s Master Roster. Additionally, for players to move freely between the two clubs throughout the season, the League One and MLS clubs must
have a documented affiliation with one another.

MLS > League One: There is no restriction on the number of players on loan a League One team may have from an MLS team at any given time. The team must
have space on its Master Roster to add any player on loan. There is restriction on the total number of MLS players which compete on a given League One
team during the season. Additionally, for players to move freely between the two clubs throughout the season, the League One and MLS clubs must have a
documented affiliation with one another.

34 2021 USL LEAGUE ONE MEDIA GUIDE

League One > League One: There is no restriction on the number of League One players a team may send to compete in League One. All loaned players shall
remain on the League One Team’s Master Roster. Additionally, for players to move freely between the two clubs throughout the season, the League One and
League One clubs have a documented affiliation with one another.

League One > League One: There is no restriction on the number of players on loan a League One team may have from a League One team at any given time.
The team must have space on its Master Roster to add any player on loan. There is no restriction on the total number of League One players which compete on
a given League One team during the season. Additionally, for players to move freely between the two clubs throughout the season, the League One and League
One clubs must have a documented affiliation with one another.

Loan Players in the Playoffs

A loan player must compete (play in a match, not just be rostered) in at least five regular season matches for a specific League One team to be eligible for the
playoffs with that team. One of those games must occur prior to the Roster Freeze.

23-Man Game Day Player Pool

All players must be rostered (i.e. registered with the League and Federation) and active prior to their inclusion in a Team’s 23-Man Game Day Player Pool.
Suspended players cannot be included in the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool. Should a player be successfully rostered (provided all registration paperwork and
ITC cleared before the applicable match registration deadline) and fall within the 48-24-hour window, they may be added to the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool;
however, the change will be subject to the opposing team’s approval in accordance with Master Roster Guidelines.

Teams are required to submit their 23-Man Game Day Player Pool of players that are available and active for a match 48-hours prior to each match. Between 48
and 24-hours prior to the match, any change to that Game Day Player Pool must be approved by the opposing team and the League. There will be no changes
allowed to the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool less than 24 hours prior to a match. Failure to submit the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool 48 hours prior to the
match will result in a minimum fine of $500. Failure to submit the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool in alphabetical order will result in a minimum fine of $50. All
appropriate parties must be included on the correspondence for the standard to be met. All times are subject to change in accordance with the best interests
of the game and in the spirit of the intent of this rule in the League’s absolute discretion. The League reserves the right to override approvals or denials of the
opposing team.

No player may be simultaneously active on the Master Roster of two separate teams in two different leagues. The only exception to this rule occurs if a player
has been listed as active on a USL League One team’s 23-Man Game Day Player Pool, which is submitted to the League no later than 48 hours prior to the match.
In such an instance, a player may remain active in both systems. Any player that does not meet this exception must be listed as inactive in the USL League One
registration system to participate on a separate team in a different league. No player may be listed on the active roster for two separate teams in two different
leagues on the same day. Failure to meet this standard will result in a minimum fine of $500.

If a player not included on the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool participates in the match in any capacity, including being available on the bench for selection, it
will result in a minimum fine of $1,000. On the day of the game, during the roster exchange, game day lineups must be cross-referenced with the 23-Man Game
Day Player Pools from each club to ensure all players included on the lineup have also been included on the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool. In the event that
any of the parties involved with the exchange identify that a player included on the lineup was not previously listed on the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool, the
designated League contact listed on the match preview must be notified and the player will not be able to compete in the match. If this occurs, the team is
permitted to replace the lineup spot with a player who has been included on the 23-Man Game Day Player Pool provided the opposing team has the same
opportunity based on the number of available players at the match (i.e. the opposing team has 19 or more players available for selection). The home team and
visiting team must also submit a copy of their Official Game Day Lineup to the League 60 minutes prior to the start of the match via the Teamworks platform to
meet the standard.
