How to Play Series Auction Contest

FAQ’s Series

What is a Series Auction?

Fanspole's Series Auction is a season-long strategy-based online sports game for Cricket and Football. The objective is to act as a franchise owner and build your virtual team by bidding for real-world players during the auction. Your team earns points based on the performances of your selected players in real-world matches throughout the season or tournament.
What is Open Auction mode and Sealed Auction mode?

Open Auction Mode involves live bidding for players, allowing franchise owners to place bids in real time.

Sealed Auction Mode uses anonymous bidding, where the participating franchises are known but the bid amounts remain confidential until the auction is processed.

The contest admin can schedule or start new Open or Sealed Auction rounds at any point during the season or tournament.
How does the Open Auction process work?

During the auction, franchise owners bid against each other for players. Every franchise has a fixed budget, and the highest bidder wins the player. Build your squad strategically while managing your available purse.
How are Sealed Auctions conducted?

Sealed Auctions are executed at a predefined time selected by the contest admin. Unsold players from previous auctions, along with released players, become available for bidding.

Franchise owners submit confidential bids using their remaining budget. Once the auction is processed, winning players are assigned automatically. The contest admin can schedule multiple Sealed Auction rounds during the season.
Can franchise owners change their teams after the initial auction?

Yes. Franchise owners can release players and acquire available players in future Open or Sealed Auctions held during the season. This allows teams to adapt based on player performance, injuries, transfers, or strategy. Auction rounds can be enabled or disabled by the contest admin.
What happens if multiple franchises submit identical bids in a Sealed Auction?

If two or more franchises submit the same highest bid for a player, no franchise wins that player. The player remains unsold, and all affected franchises receive their bidding credits back.
How are points awarded?

Points are awarded based on players' performances in real-world matches.

For Cricket, points are earned through batting, bowling, fielding, and other match statistics.
For Football, points are earned through goals, assists, clean sheets, saves, tackles, and other performance metrics.

How often are points updated?

Points are updated after each real-world match. Franchise owners can track player performances and monitor their position on the leaderboard throughout the season.
When will I receive points for a player acquired in an auction?

Players acquired through Open or Sealed Auctions begin earning points from the next real-world match in which they participate.

If the auction is completed before a match starts, points will count from that match. If the auction is completed after the match has already begun, points for that ongoing match will not be awarded.
Is there a limit to the number of players a franchise can have?

No. There is no minimum or maximum squad size as long as the franchise stays within its allocated budget. Franchise owners are free to build their squad in the way they believe gives them the best chance of success.
