A player auction that runs itself while you run the room

Auction day falls apart in the arithmetic. Someone loses track of a purse, two teams think they won the same bid, and the big screen shows the previous player. The auction app keeps the money, the squads and the screen in one place.

What runs the auction

01
Operator panel

One screen for the auctioneer: the player on the block, the bid, who is bidding, and sold or unsold.

02
Tiered increments

Bid steps that change with the price band, so a low-base player is not bid up in the same jumps as a marquee pick.

03
Purse and squad limits

Each team's remaining purse and squad count enforced as bids are placed, not checked afterwards.

04
LED big-screen display

Display themes built for the room, including a split-screen layout, with field-level visibility toggles for smaller walls.

05
Public display token

Drive the big screen from any machine at the venue without signing an account in on it.

06
Season player data

Per-season records with CSV import, so last season's numbers are on screen while the bidding happens.

Where the registration app comes in

An auction is only as good as its player list. Entries collected through this registration platform arrive with photos, roles, batting and bowling styles and contact numbers already attached.

  • Players register themselves online, so you are not typing two hundred names from a WhatsApp group.
  • Photos collected at registration appear on the auction screen.
  • Franchise and team owners register through the same platform.
  • Roles and playing styles are captured at entry, which is exactly the data teams bid on.
Questions we get asked

Before you enquire

Can teams bid from their own phones?
The room is run from the operator panel with the bids called in the room, which is how auctions actually work. Ask us about remote bidding if your format needs it.
What if we need to change the teams after setup?
Teams can be added and edited after the tournament is created, including once the player list is loaded.
Can we practise before auction day?
Yes. Run a mock auction with your real player list and a volunteer on the operator panel. It is the cheapest hour you will spend on the event.
Do you supply the screen and operator?
We can. The app runs on your own machine and screen, or Sports Media 7 brings the LED wall and runs the room as part of a production booking.
