How do I start a Solo auction?+
Choose your mode on the home screen, enter your name, pick one of the 10 franchises, select a bidding strategy, and tap Start Auction. You'll bid live against 9 AI franchises. Solo runs completely offline — zero internet needed.
What's the difference between the three modes?+
Full Auction — 240+ players, 25-player squads, 15-second timer, ₹125 Cr budget. Includes RTR round.
Quick Auction — 110 players, Playing XI squads, 10-second timer, ₹100 Cr budget. Built for speed.
Legends Auction — 110 T20 greats (Dhoni, Sachin, AB, Gayle and more), 11-player squads, 15-second timer, ₹150 Cr budget. Build your all-time dynasty.
How does Multiplayer work?+
One player creates a room — a 6-letter code appears instantly. Share it with friends. Everyone joins, picks a different franchise, and the host taps Start. Every bid syncs across all devices via Firebase Server-Sent Events (under 100ms). Up to 10 human players per room, with AI filling any empty franchise slots.
What is the RTR (Right to Re-Introduce) round?+
After the Full Auction main round ends, unsold players enter an RTR queue. You can nominate up to 5 unsold players to re-enter bidding. AI franchises also nominate their top picks. The RTR round runs exactly like the main auction — same timer, same rules. RTR is available in Full Auction mode only (Solo and Multiplayer).
What are the four bidding strategies?+
⚖️ Balanced — Max 18% per player, 22% budget reserve. Disciplined and consistent.
⭐ Star Hunter — Up to 28% on Marquee players, 15% reserve. Go all-in on the biggest names.
🔬 Value Hunter — Max 14% cap, 30% reserve. Find underrated players nobody else wants.
🔥 All-Out Attack — 24% on Marquee, only 12% reserve. Spend hard and early — no safety net.
Why are AI franchises not always bidding?+
Every AI franchise runs a real bidding strategy. They skip players when that role is already filled, their budget is running low, or the player doesn't fit their profile. When their squad count gets critically low late in the auction, they enter "panic mode" and bid aggressively on almost everyone.
Does the app need an internet connection?+
Solo vs AI — fully offline after the splash screen. No Wi-Fi, no problem.
Multiplayer — requires internet so bids sync in real time across all players' devices.
Multiplayer says "Could not create room" — help!+
