Turf Cricket League Platform

The auction mechanics are identical, but turf cricket leagues tend to be more competitive and longer-running. Two practical differences:

• **More structured tiers** — turf leagues usually want clear Premium / Mid-range / Developing tiers because the player pool is more competitive
• **Larger squads** — turf cricket often uses 9–12 players per side; box cricket uses 6
• **Season-long format** — many turf leagues run multiple matches over weeks; box cricket is usually a single tournament day

The platform handles all of this; the main difference is in how you configure the pool structure.

Yes — Auction Chase handles the auction and team formation; the matches happen at your venue with whatever scoring system you use. After the auction, your team rosters are locked in for the season. The auction is the team-formation event; the league plays out from there.

Spectators are the secret of a great auction event:

• Open the projector view on the venue screen so everyone watches the live bidding
• Sold-player carousel keeps recent action visible
• Sponsor displays give your venue partners visibility throughout
• Public team pages let you share final rosters via a link as soon as the auction ends

Many turf leagues we support treat the auction as a separate ticketed or community event drawing in players, family, and local cricket fans before the first match.

For inter-club leagues running across multiple turf venues, the auction itself happens once (at a single location or fully online). After team formation, your matches play out at whichever venue your league fixture system specifies — Auction Chase manages the auction and team data, not the match scheduling.

For competitive turf cricket where players are known in the local circuit:

• Tier the player pool with the organizer plus 1–2 neutral parties (often club captains)
• Assign base prices per tier rather than per individual
• For known top players, designate them as Icon players with separate base price logic

This is faster, fairer, and avoids the contentious individual price-setting conversations.

Yes. A one-off tournament is just a single tournament record on the platform — you create it, run the auction, and your team rosters are formed. A season-long league is a longer-running version of the same — same auction event, but the teams play matches over weeks/months. The platform manages the auction and team formation; how you run matches afterward is up to you.
