Right to Match (RTM) Cards
RTM cards are the IPL mechanic where a player's previous team gets a chance to match the winning bid and retain them, instead of automatically losing them to the highest bidder. It's a frequently requested feature from leagues that want to run an IPL-style format end to end, so it's on our roadmap — but it isn't built into the product today.
Why organizers use this
- Would let leagues replicate the full IPL-style retention-and-RTM format
- Would give previous team owners a defined, rule-based chance to retain key players
- Would integrate with the existing live bidding console rather than a separate tool
Typical use cases
- A city premier league modelling its format directly on the IPL auction
- A franchise tournament that wants continuity of star players across seasons
Frequently asked questions
- Is RTM available today?
- RTM is on our roadmap and not yet shipped. We would rather tell you that upfront than have you discover it mid-auction — ask our team for the current build status before you plan your event around it.
- How do leagues run RTM manually today?
- Some organizers handle RTM as a manual announcement step — the auctioneer pauses after the winning bid, asks the previous team if they want to match, and records the outcome before confirming the sale in the console.
- Will RTM cards be limited per team like in the IPL?
- When built, we'd expect a configurable RTM card count per team, similar to how squad and purse rules are configurable today, but this is not finalized.
