Each team picks in order, then the order reverses each round. If you pick first in round 1, you pick last in round 2. This ensures a fair distribution of talent.

Auction Draft

Each team has a budget (default $200). Players nominate players and bid against each other. The highest bidder wins the player. Strategy is key - manage your budget wisely!
