IPL Auction

This is one of the earliest things I built, for a game we ran at our college tech fest. The game is an IPL-style player auction: each participant claims a team, and then everyone takes part in an auction to buy players. Every player has their own ratings and rankings, and once the auction is done, the team that ended up with the best combined player ratings and stats wins.

The catch is that running an auction like that by hand gets messy fast, tracking bids, budgets, who bought whom, and tallying up ratings at the end. So this is not really a game app itself, it is a companion tool that runs the auction for you and keeps the whole thing smooth and easy to manage. It handles the bidding, keeps score, and works out the winning squad so the people running the event can just focus on the fun part.

It is a simple project and an old one, but it did its job at the fest and people had a great time with it.

How you can use it

It is meant to sit alongside a live auction event and manage it. The repo has the code if you want to run your own auction night or see how it works.
