How to Calculate Your Cricket Auction Purse & Bid Steps
Calculating purse budgets and base prices is essential for keeping your cricket auction balanced and exciting. If base prices are too high, teams run out of money before filling their squad. If base prices are too low, bidding drags on for hours.
Formula for Minimum Purse Reserve
To prevent a team owner from spending all their purse on 2 marquee players and having zero money left for their remaining 10 squad spots, enforce a **Purse Reserve Floor**:
Purse Reserve Floor = (Required Squad Size - Current Team Players) × Lowest Base Price
Using **Bidoo (bidoo.in)**, these formulas are evaluated automatically during live bidding so operators never have to do mental math under pressure.
