Common Questions & Answers
How does the virtual purse work in CricSyncLive auctions?+
Organizers set an initial point budget per team (e.g., 50,000 or 100,000 points). When a player is hammered as Sold, the winning bid is automatically deducted from that team purse.
Can we connect the auction screen to a projector or TV?+
Yes! CricSyncLive provides a dedicated Projector Stage View designed for 1080p projectors and big-screen TVs, displaying live player cards and team balances.
What happens to unsold players during the auction?+
Unsold players are safely logged in the Unsold pool. Organizers can trigger an Accelerated Round anytime to re-auction unsold players with modified base prices.
Does CricSyncLive prevent team owners from overspending their budget?+
Yes. The system automatically blocks bids that exceed a team remaining purse, taking into account the minimum reserve points needed to fill remaining squad spots.
Can we automatically import the auctioned squads into the tournament?+
Yes! Once the auction concludes, all drafted players are automatically linked to their respective teams for match scheduling and ball-by-ball scoring.
