How to Run a Cricket Auction with Bidoo
No spreadsheets, no manual math, no dispute arguments. Here is how simple it is to host an IPL-style player auction.
Create Your Event & Set Purse Rules
Define your tournament name, total purse budget per team (e.g. ₹50 Lakhs), maximum squad size, and custom bid-step rules (e.g. ₹10k increments up to ₹1L, ₹50k increments beyond).
- Set initial team purse caps and reserve prices
- Choose custom bid increment steps
- Import existing teams or invite team owners via link
Open Player Registration
Share your public player registration link on WhatsApp or social media. Players fill in their batting/bowling profiles, upload photos, and optionally submit UPI payment receipts.
- Custom form builder for player details & roles
- Verification queue to approve or reject players
- Bulk CSV import option if you already have player lists
Run the Live Bidding Console
On auction day, open the operator console on your phone or laptop. Tap team paddles to place bids in real time with sub-second WebSocket synchronization.
- One-click undo for mistaken bids
- Skip lots or send unsold players to re-auction
- Live remaining purse indicator for every team
Broadcast Live & Export Squad Rosters
Project the live auction screen on the banquet hall wall or stream overlay to YouTube/Facebook. Once finished, download complete squad rosters and financial summary PDFs.
- 6 projector themes for big screen displays
- Transparent OBS stream overlay for live streaming
- Instant squad PDF downloads & WhatsApp receipts
