Frequently asked questions

Do all committee members need to be in the same room?

No — the console works over the internet, so a co-organizer can drive bidding remotely while others watch the public display locally. Most clubs still prefer one person on the console for consistency during fast rounds.

What happens if a bid is entered wrong?

There's a short undo window right after a bid is placed, so you can retract a mistaken entry before the lot moves on. Once a player is marked sold, that decision is final and reflected in the results.

Can bidding be in points instead of rupees?

Yes. Each auction chooses a bid unit — points or money — and every screen (console, team view, public display) uses that unit consistently, which matters for leagues that run a mock-currency draft.

Does the console need a stable high-speed connection?

A normal 4G or venue Wi-Fi connection is enough; the console isn't streaming video. If connectivity drops briefly, the auction state is saved server-side so you can refresh and continue.
