Running your first auction night

Getting started · 8 min read

This is the map of an entire tournament on DesiAuction. Each step links to the detailed guide.

Before the night

  1. Create an organization, then a season inside it. See season setup.
  2. Open registration and share the link. Players sign up with one tap; you approve, waitlist, or import a roster. See the registration desk.
  3. Build fixtures if your tournament needs a schedule. See fixtures.
  4. Set up the auction: teams, owners, purses, and the lots to be sold. See auction setup.

On the night

  1. Open the cockpit and go live. Every bid is checked on the server and lands on the projector, every owner's phone, and every spectator's screen at the same instant.
  2. Call lots, take bids, and mark each SOLD. If something goes wrong, you can undo, pause, and the room recovers itself. See conducting the auction.
  3. Spectators watch a public stage — no sign-in needed — if you've made the season public.

After the gavel

  1. The settlement case opens automatically with every obligation computed. Record collections, handle any waivers, and close the case. See money after the gavel.
  2. Issue receipts and keep a sealed document register. See receipts and your document register.
That's the whole arc: register, auction, settle, receipt. Every rupee is accounted for, and the ledger is immutable.
