How to create an auction

The Create Auction form sets up your auction’s identity and schedule. Seven fields are required; the rest make the auction look and feel like your league. Budgets, teams and bidding rules come next, in the Auction Details tab.

Every field, explained

Auction basics

  • Auction logo

    Optional

    Your league or club badge. It is shown on the auction page and on the live auction screens.

    • Use a square PNG or JPG so it is not cropped unevenly.

  • Auction Name

    Required

    The name teams and players see everywhere: invites, registration links, the live screen and exports.

    • Up to 100 characters.

    Example: Riverside Premier League

  • Season

    Optional

    Which edition this is. Handy when you run the same league every year.

    • Whole, positive numbers only.

    Example: 3

  • Year

    Optional

    The year of this edition.

    • Whole, positive numbers only.

    Example: 2026

  • Sport

    Required

    The sport you are auctioning players for. It decides which tournament and scoring options are available later.

    • Cricket is selected by default.
    • Choose Other to type a sport that is not in the list (for example Hockey or Tennis).
    • You can change the sport later only until a tournament is linked to the auction.
    • If the auction already has teams or players, saving a new sport asks you to confirm (Change auction sport?).

Organizer & description

  • Organizer Name

    Required

    Who is running the auction. It is filled in from your profile; change it if you organize on behalf of a club or committee.

    • Up to 100 characters.

    Example: Riverside Cricket Club

  • Organizer photo

    Optional

    A photo or logo for the organizer, shown with the organizer details.

  • Description

    Optional

    Anything players and team owners should know before registering: format, venue, prize money, eligibility.

When & where

  • Auction Start Date

    Required

    The day the auction starts.

    • Format DD/MM/YYYY.
    • Past dates cannot be picked.

  • Auction End Date

    Required

    The last day of the auction. Use the start date for a one-day auction.

    • Format DD/MM/YYYY.
    • Must be on or after the start date.

  • Location

    Required

    Where the auction happens: a ground, clubhouse or city.

    • Up to 100 characters.

    Example: Riverside Cricket Ground

  • Auction Start Time

    Required

    When bidding begins. Player and team registration deadlines (set later in the auction tabs) must be on or before this date and time.

  • Youtube URL

    Optional

    If you stream the auction, paste the YouTube link so viewers can find the stream.

    • Accepted: youtube.com/watch?v=…, /live/…, /shorts/…, /embed/…, playlist?list=… and youtu.be/… links.
    • Any other link shows "Youtube URL is invalid".

    Example: https://www.youtube.com/live/your-stream-id

Theme and colors

  • Select Theme Color for Live Auction

    Optional

    The colour of the live auction screen.

    • Blue, Light Green, Green, Dark Blue or Light Blue. Blue is the default.

  • Select Auction Theme

    Optional

    The design used by the projector and stream-overlay screens.

    • Theme 1 to Theme 7. Theme 1 is the default.

Add organizers

  • Add Organiser

    Optional

    Give other people access to manage this auction with you. Select Add Organiser, enter their mobile number and save. Use Save and Add Another to add several. Co-organizers can edit every tab, run the live screen and projector, and clone the auction; only you (the creator) can delete it.

    • Enter a valid mobile number with its country code.

  • Hide Organizer Contact Information

    Optional

    Turn this on to hide the organizer phone number on the public auction card.

Common mistakes

  • The Create button stays disabled until every required field is valid. Look for a red message under a field.
  • Pick the end date after the start date. Picking it first can leave it before the new start date.
  • Registration deadlines must be before the auction start. Set the start date and time with that in mind.
  • Pick the right sport now. Once a tournament is linked it can no longer be changed.
