Players come up one by one. Everyone sees the same clock, the same purse, the same sold stamp. The room is the product.
Live bidding
A lot is on the clock. Bids land in order. When it sells, the squad updates instantly — no spreadsheet pass-around after the call.
- Shared virtual purse, usually ₹150 Crores, spent in public.
- Shot clock on every lot so the night actually ends.
- Admin controls for the commissioner: pause, correct, replace.
A legal squad, or no sale
Overseas caps, uncapped minimums, role floors. The board will not let you buy a team you cannot field.
- Unsold pool stays available to fill holes after the main draft.
- Replacements for injury without rewriting history.
- Auction stats so you can see who overpaid when the dust settles.
