Cricket auction software

KreonBid was built for turf-cricket leagues, so cricket is where it is most at home. Run an IPL-style player auction for your premier league, with a big-screen reveal for every player and a live purse on every owner’s phone.

Leagues it suits

Any league that picks its teams by auction.

  • Turf and box cricket leagues
  • Tennis-ball premier leagues
  • Society and community leagues
  • Corporate tournaments
  • Club and academy leagues
  • Women’s leagues

KreonBid runs the whole auction night: the LED screen in the hall, the operator’s console, a live screen on every owner’s phone and a public view for players and families.

Its rules are about purses, squads and sets, so they fit cricket as they are. You decide the purse, the squad size and how players are grouped; KreonBid enforces it on every bid.

Setting up a cricket auction

How leagues set it up.

01

Sets

Icon, Grade A, B and C come ready to edit. Give each a base price and a minimum and maximum per team, so no side can collect all the top players.

02

Player cards

Role, batting style, bowling style, age and area are standard fields, and show on the LED when a player is drawn.

03

Owner-players

An owner who plays for their own team joins the squad before the auction, with a purse deduction set by grade.

04

Men’s and women’s

Copy an auction with its rules and sponsors to run a second category on the same day.

On the big screen

Every player gets their moment.

Auction day

Five steps, from rules to results.

01

Set the rules

Purse, squad size, sets (grades) with base prices and quotas, bid increments, branding and sponsors. A readiness check flags numbers that cannot work.

02

Add teams and owners

Teams with colours and logos, the owner who plays for each team, and a login for every owner. Print all the login QR codes on one sheet.

03

Import the players

Upload the registration sheet (Excel or CSV, such as a Google Form’s responses), then bulk-upload photos named by serial number or player name.

04

Run the auction

Draw a player, take bids, sell. Every screen in the hall and every phone follows within a second.

05

Share the results

Squad sheets, full results and the audit log as PDF, everything as Excel, and a poster per team for WhatsApp and Instagram.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the best way to run a cricket player auction for a local league?

Decide the purse, squad size and grades with base prices, register players with photos, then run the auction on a big screen with one operator. KreonBid handles each of these steps and enforces the purse and squad rules as bids come in.

Can KreonBid run an IPL-style auction?

Yes. KreonBid follows the same pattern: players are drawn by set, teams bid in fixed increments against a purse, and the screen shows SOLD with the price and winning team. An unsold round brings unsold players back.

How many teams and players can a cricket auction have?

KreonBid has no fixed limit. Its demo auction has 12 teams and 108 players, and team hotkeys on the console cover 20 teams.

Can we import players from a Google Form?

Yes. Download the form’s responses as Excel or CSV and import the sheet. KreonBid matches the columns to player fields, skips duplicates and keeps serial numbers unique.
