Set up
Set up an auction
The six-step setup wizard, field by field.
Open Dashboard›Auctions and start a new auction. The setup wizard has six steps, and you can change almost everything later from the auction's settings.
Step 1 — Tournament profile and season
Pick an existing tournament, or create one here. The auction belongs to this tournament.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Tournament name | For example “CricFlow Champions League”. |
| Season name | For example “Season 2 (2026)”. Second-season auctions can use RTM. |
| Location and region | Where the tournament is played. |
| Ball type, match format, category, format, default overs | The tournament's cricket settings. |
| Logo and banner | Shown on the board, overlays and exports. |
Step 2 — Date, time and venue
The auction venue (a hall, or “Online”), the scheduled date and time, and the auction's logo and banner.
It won't start on its own
The scheduled time is for your players and franchises. The auction only goes live when you start it, so you can wait until everyone is ready.
Step 3 — Auctioneer and staff
The auctioneer's name, contact details and a short bio, plus co-admins — people who can help run the auction. Search for them by name or phone.
Step 4 — Rules, budgets and squad limits
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Auction credit currency | What budgets are counted in: ₹ Rs, Points, Credits, Coins or None. |
| Credit limit per team | Each franchise's total budget (purse). |
| Default base price | A player's opening price, unless you set one for them. |
| Minimum bid increment | The smallest amount a new bid must add. |
| Increment tiers | Optional bigger steps once the price passes a level. |
| Min / max players per team | Squad size limits. A franchise can't buy past the maximum. |
| Max reserve players | How many reserves each squad can carry. |
| Player presentation mode | How the next player is chosen. |
More on these: Budgets and bid increments and Presentation modes.
Step 5 — Live overlay theme
Choose the look of the auction graphics: a theme preset (such as Classic Broadcast, IPL Gold & Blue or CricFlow Pro Auction), your colours, which widgets to show and the animations.
Step 6 — Final review
Check everything and create the auction. Next, add franchises and open registration.
