Cricket player auction
Your league's biggest night
The auction runs on your laptop, not in the cloud. Open it once and this device keeps its own copy — if the venue wifi dies, bids, purses and the projector carry on, and the page still opens if you reload it. Every action is recorded and chained, so nothing is disputable afterwards.

How an auction night goes
- 1Before
Put your players in
Paste a WhatsApp list or drop in an Excel file — any column order, any spelling. You fix anything odd in a preview before it counts. Then set the purse, the base prices and the squad sizes.
- 2On the night
Run it on the projector
One big button raises the bid. Every team's real spending ceiling is on screen and updates after each bid, so the room can see who can still afford him. Your phone or a clicker works as the hammer.
- 3Afterwards
Send the squads out
Every team gets a picture card to forward on WhatsApp, every player gets their own. The full bid log downloads as a spreadsheet for anyone who asks questions later.
What goes wrong, and what happens instead
Every one of these is a real complaint about auction software, from people whose tournament it ruined.
The venue wifi dies
The auction carries on, and so does the projector. This device keeps its own copy of the app after the first visit, so even reloading the page works with the cable out.
Your laptop crashes mid-auction
Open it again and you are on the same lot, with every sale intact. Nothing waits to be saved.
You sell to the wrong team
Undo it. The correction is added to the record rather than hiding the mistake — so the log still adds up.
An owner spends everything early
They cannot. The ceiling shown for each team already reserves enough to finish a legal squad.
Two people claim the same bid
Every action is timestamped and chained to the one before it, so the evening can be replayed exactly.
A player goes unsold
No red stamp across his face in front of his neighbours. He returns to the pool quietly, with a place in the next round.
