Run auction day

The day before

1. Do a practice run: in the Auctioneer Console turn on Practice Mode and run a few players. Everything done in practice is undone when you end it.
2. Send every team owner their 1-click link (Links & QR Codes) and ask them to open it once on the phone they will bid from.
3. Check the overlay on the screen or stream you will use (see "Overlay and viewers").

Running the auction

1. Open the Auctioneer Console and press "Start Auction".
2. The next player comes up by itself, or choose one with "Pick Player…".
3. Team owners bid from their phones; bids appear on the console, the overlay and the viewer page at once.
4. When bidding stops press "Sold". The player joins the team and the price comes off its purse. "Unsold" puts the player aside for a later round.
5. A few seconds later the next player (or a planned ad) comes up by itself.

• Made a mistake? Undo the last bid, or undo the last sale; the purse is given back.
• Breaks: start a commercial break to show sponsors’ ads; bidding waits until the break ends.
• Trade window: pauses bidding while two teams swap players; press "Resume Auction" to carry on.
• Unsold players can come back in a re-auction round at the end.

If something goes wrong

• A phone lost its connection: it catches up by itself; reloading the page is always safe.
• A team owner cannot sign in: on the Teams page create a new PIN, or send their 1-click link again.
• Everything is saved as it happens, and backups are taken before big changes (Backups in the left menu). You can restore one there.
• Still stuck? Contact us from the home page; on auction days we answer fast.

At the end

1. Press "End Auction". Squads and results stay on the viewer page.
2. Download the results (Reports & Export) and the players’ data (Players’ data) if you need them.
3. Players’ mobile numbers, emails and dates of birth are deleted automatically 30 days later.
