How to run a cricket player auction for your league
A player auction turns a local league into an event. With Krickit’s cricket auction app, every team owner bids from their own phone, every bid is shown to everyone the moment it is made, and the squads go straight into your tournament. Here is how to run one.

Step 1: set the purses and the player pool
Give each team a purse, set base prices, and let players register for the auction. Every player card shows that player’s record, so owners bid on real numbers.
- A purse for every team
- Base prices for players
- Player cards with their Krickit stats
Step 2: bid live, against the clock
Each player comes up with a timer. Owners bid from their phones, wherever they are, and every bid resets the clock. A last call comes before every sale, so nobody misses a player.
- A bid timer on every player
- A last call before the sale
- Sold and unsold players, live
Step 3: squads and purses, always on screen
Every team’s squad and remaining purse is always visible, so owners know exactly what they can still afford. Unsold players go back into the pool and can come up again.
Step 4: a result nobody can argue with
Every bid for every player is kept in order: who bid, how much and when, with the final price and the buying team. When the auction ends, the squads go straight into the tournament.

Questions
Can I run an IPL-style cricket auction for my local league?
Yes. Set purses and a player pool in Krickit, then bid live with a timer and a last call on every player. It suits box cricket leagues, office tournaments, college fests and club seasons.
Do team owners need to be in the same room?
No. Every owner bids from their own phone, wherever they are, and sees every bid as it happens.
What happens to unsold players?
They go back into the pool and can come up again later in the auction.
Can I broadcast the auction live?
Yes. Krickast streams the auction with its own graphics in OBS, Prism Live or vMix for 250 Krickit coins.
