LoL in-house auction tool

Auction drafts make in-houses a lot more fun, but running one by hand gets messy fast. Bids shouted in chat get confusing, and the host has to track everyone's remaining points in a spreadsheet.

• Two people bid the same amount at once and you have to redo it
• Someone miscounts points and a team can't fill its roster
• The host counts the timer by hand and nobody agrees on the last second

ONNJ's team auction handles all of that on screen.

Classic mode follows the well-known streamer tournament rules: a 1,000pt budget per captain, 5pt minimum steps, a 30-second timer when a player comes up that resets to 15 seconds on every bid, and players auctioned role by role (top → jungle → mid → bot → support).

Simple mode is just budgets and bids. There's no timer — the host awards each player — so it suits groups trying an auction for the first time.

In both modes an unsold player comes back up until someone buys them. Nobody gets assigned for 0 points behind your back.

1. A group admin opens the auction, picks a mode and checks the players.
2. Send the captain link to the captains. Each captain opens it and claims a seat — no sign-in needed.
3. Once every captain is in, the admin starts the auction.
4. Captains bid from their phones or PCs. Bids you can't afford are blocked automatically.
5. When time runs out the player is awarded and the next one comes up.
6. At the end, 'Copy result' pastes the rosters straight into Discord or a chat.

Share the spectator link and everyone else can watch and chat without signing in. The countdown follows the server clock, so everyone sees the same second.

• Undo: if an award was a mistake, an admin can undo the last one. Points go back and the player is auctioned again.
• Seats left: bids are capped so every team keeps enough points to fill its remaining seats.
• Simultaneous bids: if two captains click at the same moment, only the first bid counts.

Play your in-house with the auctioned teams and upload the replay files afterwards. Results are recorded automatically, so the leaderboard shows whether that expensive pick was worth it.

On days when an auction is too much, split teams with AI balance or a captains' draft instead.

Is the in-house auction tool free?

Yes. Create a group and you can use it right away.

Do captains need an account?

No. A group admin opens the auction, but captains and spectators join by link and can bid, watch and chat without signing in.

Are these the classic auction rules?

Classic mode uses 1,000pt, 5pt steps, a 30s/15s timer and role-by-role order. You can change the budget when you open the auction.

Can captains bid from a phone?

Yes. Each captain bids from their own phone or PC and the screen updates for everyone in real time.

We awarded the wrong player.

A group admin can press Undo to cancel the last award and refund the points. Press it again to step back further.
