From Edit League, select Start Auction. On the auction page, select Configure Auction Settings.
Choose the points or currency system
Select the Currency / Points System that matches how your league communicates auction values.

Use Default Template for standard IPL-style settings or Custom Template when your league needs specific values.
Part 2
Define financial and squad rules
These settings protect the auction from invalid bids and incomplete squads.
Set the team purse and base price
Confirm the starting purse available to each team and the opening price for players.
Configure bid increment rules
Set the increment used at each price threshold. Keep increments simple enough for auction participants to understand.
Set minimum and maximum players per team
Use realistic roster limits that match your league format and available player pool.
Review full-balance bidding behavior
Decide whether teams can bid their complete remaining balance and understand how that affects minimum roster requirements.
Part 3
Prepare and test the launch
A demo run is the safest way to validate settings before a real auction.
Review player groups
Confirm auction groups and eligible-player counts before launch.
Select Start Auction
Open the launch dialog and choose Real Auction or Demo / Test.
Choose the bidding mode
Select Offline Auction when the auctioneer records bids, or Online Auction when owners bid remotely.

Launch a Demo / Test auction to verify rules, owner readiness, and operator responsibilities without publishing a live event.
Practical tips
Agree on financial rules before entering settings. Use clean, predictable bid increments. Ensure the player pool is large enough for roster requirements. Test both operator and public views before launch.
