I just would like to confirm this is or isn't the case on how to
draft. I have checked the tournament rules and it would suggest that a
sanctioned draft cannot be done in the following way, but I would
question why?
Each player has x boosters, they open all x boosters, choose x cards
and pass on, continuing this way until all cards are drafted.
I will write up my musings on a 3 booster draft shortly, but this is
something that we all thought would be a better way of drafting than
open, pick 1, pass... or separate crypt/library from all boosters,
draft crypt, then draft piles of library.

Confirmed.
The two sanctioned draft formats are booster draft, as described in VEKN 7.6,
and table draft, as described in VEKN 7.7.

As LSJ notes, it's not currently sanctioned - mainly because it's
never been tried out in any depth before. So try it out - post your
results here, convince other people to try it out, and generally
playtest the format until conclusions can be reached as to whether or
not it's fun and fair. This is what people did with the "Duffin draft"
format and now the drafting rules have been expanded to include some
aspects of that format (like sanctioning 1-booster draft events.)
