SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The South Florida franchise of Women’s Professional Soccer has been docked a point in the standings and a draft pick for not meeting league standards.
The league said Thursday that magicJack’s violations included not providing game footage for other teams to scout. The WPS had been handing out increased discipline to the club for three weeks for problems such as not having a regulation-sized field or sufficient stadium capacity and not managing the team website.
The club lost its third-round pick in the 2012 draft. It had already forfeited its fourth-round selection and been fined as earlier punishments. Future penalties could include losing the right to host a home playoff game.
This is the first time in the three-year history of the league a team has been docked points and draft picks.
