Box Cricket Tournament Platform

Depends on team count and player pool size:

• **4-team Sunday format**: 1–2 hours with ~25 players
• **6–8 team league**: 2–3 hours with ~50–80 players
• **12–16 team tournament**: 3–5 hours with 100+ players
• **30+ team league**: full-day event

The biggest variable is your bid increment setting — small increments produce many small bids per player and stretch the session. We recommend setting increments at 10–20% of the base price to keep things moving.

No. Auction Chase is the auction and tournament management platform, not the venue. You can run the auction online before the tournament day, or run it live at any venue (your facility, a rented space, or even at home with a projector). The auction format works whether you have a permanent box cricket setup or you're booking a venue per match.

Yes — Auction Chase is ball-format-agnostic. The auction process is the same whether your tournament uses tennis ball, tape ball, or leather ball. The platform captures sport-specific player profiles (batting style, bowling type, role), which apply to all box cricket formats.

For local amateur players, formal statistics rarely exist. The most practical approach:

• Tier the player pool into 3 groups (Premium / Mid-range / Developing) with the organizer + 1–2 neutral parties
• Assign base prices per tier rather than per player
• This avoids individual player negotiations and produces a fair, fast auction

Many of our most successful box cricket organizers do this tier exercise informally a week before the auction.

Two options:

• **Admin proxy bidding** — the tournament organizer bids on behalf of the absent owner, with full transparency in the audit log
• **Remote bidding** — the team owner joins the auction from their phone or laptop from anywhere; auction state syncs in real time

Both are common in casual box cricket where someone always has a scheduling conflict.

Box cricket has specific patterns that don't always show up in IPL-style guides:

• Smaller team counts (often 4–8 vs IPL's 10)
• Tighter budgets (informal money or symbolic points instead of crores)
• Casual scheduling — players miss sessions, owners are remote, team sizes flex
• Venue-driven scheduling — auctions often run at the venue right before the first match

Auction Chase handles all of this — small auctions are first-class, admin proxy bidding for absent owners is built in, and the projector mode works on whatever screen is at your venue.
