Run Your Cricket Player Auction Live,
Without Excel or Bid Disputes

Yes! AuctionBest includes a private, high-speed Franchise Mobile Bidding Desk accessible on any smartphone browser without downloading any apps. Every franchise team receives a private 6-digit numeric access PIN generated by the organizer.

Once logged in, team owners have a 3-Tab Mobile Arena:

• ⚡ Live Arena: Real-time player nomination cards, current highest bid, leading team status, and a thumb-friendly 1-tap "TAP TO BID" button with 0.1s websocket sync.
• 👥 My Squad & Purse: Live tracking of remaining purse points, total expenditure vs. budget cap, acquired slots progress, role distribution counters (Batsman, Bowler, All-Rounder, WK), and full bought player roster with final sold prices.
• 📋 Searchable Player Pool: Complete catalog of upcoming and unsold players with instant live name search and category filter pills.

Additionally, our Stage Safety Alert Banner automatically slides in if a new player goes on stage while an owner is browsing their squad or remaining pool, and the built-in Light & Dark Mode ensures crystal-clear readability outdoors in bright daylight.

AuctionBest enforces 100% automated purse and roster validation at the database level. Before any bid is registered, the platform instantly verifies:

• The team has sufficient remaining purse points to cover the next bid increment.
• The team has not exceeded its maximum squad player quota.
• The team cannot accidentally outbid itself if it already holds the highest active bid.

If a bid exceeds available purse points or squad slots, the bidding button automatically disables and displays an explanatory badge, completely eliminating manual ledger mistakes and bidding disputes.

Yes. The auctioneer and admin control room maintain total authority over mobile bidding:

• Master ON/OFF Switch: Turn mobile bidding on or off with a single toggle switch at any time. When OFF, mobile desks are safely locked.
• Instant PIN Generation & Reset: Organizers can regenerate or reset any team's 6-digit access PIN on the fly if a device is changed or transferred.
• Real-Time Audit Log: Every bid placed via mobile is logged with an exact millisecond timestamp, team ID, and IP signature in the central auction ledger.
