Cricket Auction Pro
Available— Core module — required photo upload at registration.
Player Photos on the Auction Screen
A name and a base price on a screen feels flat; a photo makes the crowd actually recognize who's up for bid. Because photo upload is a required step during registration, organizers never end up with a pool full of blank silhouette icons on auction night — every lot shows a real face.
Why organizers use this
- Photo upload is enforced at registration, not optional and easy to skip
- Photos appear consistently across console, team views, and the public display
- Makes the auction watchable for family and spectators who know faces, not player IDs
- Useful later for team rosters and result exports too
Typical use cases
- A school or college auction where classmates recognize each other on the big screen
- A district tournament streaming the auction live to a wider community
- An academy publishing final squads with photos for parents to review
Frequently asked questions
- What if a player doesn't have a good photo to upload?
- Any reasonably clear photo works — organizers can review submissions during approval and ask a player to re-upload if the image is unusable.
- Are photos shown to teams before bidding, giving away identity bias?
- Yes, photos are part of the standard lot display — most grassroots cricket auctions are not blind auctions, so this matches how organizers actually want it to run.
- Can photos be edited or replaced after approval?
- Organizers can update a player's record, including their photo, from the player management screen before the auction locks the pool.
