Auction to begin today, as soon as you you get the invitations, you may start bidding.
* Each team will have to buy 6 players in Phase II of the auction. They will be overseas players from outside the Oceania continent. You can play a maximum of four of them in a match.
* Each team has a budget of 3.5 million PLUS what you have carried over from the domestic auction for Phase II, this amount cannot be exceeded. If you have carried over money in odd multiples of 25k like 25k, 75k and all you will be getting the amount rounded off the lower multiple of 50k.

* There will be five auction pools due to the large number of players being auctioned.
* Phase II of the auction which involves only international players will start soon, and you can start bidding as soon as you receive an invitation to the Social Groups.
* There's a base price corresponding to each player. The base prices have been set pretty low in the vicinity of $200,000 to $400,000, so there should be some serious bidding for the better players.
* The minimum amount by which a bid must be raised to beat it is $50,000.
* A player will be declared sold if the current highest bid is not raised for a period of 24 hours.
* There are no rules stating that you need one player of each type (Bat, Bowl, AR, WK), but it's recommended that you keep a good balance to your squad.
* It's your responsibility to keep track of how many players you have bid for, and make sure that you do not bid for more than 6 players at any time, and that you don't exceed $3,500,000 (+ money you carried over from Phase I).
* Deletion of bids are not allowed.
* If you accidentally place a seventh bid/go over the virtual money limit, then you must delete the most recent bid you've placed asap, to avoid confusion with the other managers.
* For every player that you haven't bid on, you need to keep at least $200,000 per player unspent. For example the maximum you can spend on five players is $3,300,000 (+ money you carried over from Phase I), because you'll still need to buy one $200,000 player on top of that.
* If you have any doubts or difficulty in understanding any of the above points, then post them asap.
