It would be unique if they wanted to do something like what I have done in fantasy football league drafts: everyone is given a set of "points" to bid on the players as they come up. Maybe this year a team could take their auto score as the points they would use to bid on teams.

However, something like that would be best saved for an offseason event as an added quirk in the system. The serpentine draft makes for very potent middle of the pack alliances almost all of the time anyway. At events I have attended the past few years, the 3, 4, and 5 seeded alliances are probably the best of all of them, and in some cases, have won the events.
