How to Run a Live Auction with Auction Ace
Running an online player auction setup shouldn't be complicated. Follow these simple steps to replicate a professional draft experience.
Step 1: Create Your Auction
Sign up for free and create a new auction event. Define the rules, base prices, incremental bids, and overall budget available to the participating teams.
Step 2: Add Teams and Owners
Set up the franchises participating in your sports league draft. Assign team names, custom logos, and invite team owners to access their private dashboards.
Step 3: Import Player List
Upload your entire roster of players via a simple interface. Categorize players by role (e.g., Forward, Goalkeeper, All-Rounder) and set their base prices.
Step 4: Set Up Live Streaming
Copy your unique overlay URL into OBS Studio or vMix. Position the overlay over your live camera feed so viewers on YouTube or Twitch can follow along.
Step 5: Start the Live Auction
You play the role of the auctioneer. Display players one by one on the big screen, track incoming bids in real-time, and assign sold players to teams.
