- Homegrown players on the team's off-budget roster were automatically protected and did not count against each team's 11 protected roster spots.
- Designated players only had to be protected if they had a no-trade clause.
- Existing clubs had to submit their protected rosters to MLS by November 21, 2011. The protected rosters were made public later that day.
