Step by step

How GaimZone Works

From creating a league to crowning a champion — here's the complete journey across all three roles.

🏆

Phase 1

League Owner Creates a League

Set league name, sport type (Cricket, Football, Kabaddi, etc.), variant (T20, ODI, etc.), and season name

Add venue locations with event date ranges

Upload league banner and logo

Configure player requirements: min/max count, age restrictions, gender rules, and required profile fields

Create up to 5 custom fields for player profiles specific to your league

Set franchise settings: min/max franchise count

Configure auction parameters: max budget per franchise, base bid, and tiered bid increments

Choose visibility: region-specific (city, district, state) or nationwide

Publish the league and start accepting requests

🧑‍🏏

Phase 2

Players Register and Join

Players download GaimZone and create a profile with sport type, primary and secondary roles (e.g., Batsman, Bowler, Wicketkeeper, All-rounder)

Add bio, physical attributes, and link YouTube highlight videos

Upload ID proof if the league requires verification

Discover leagues near you by city, district, state, or nationwide

Send join requests to leagues you want to participate in

Track request status and receive notification when approved

Manage multiple league memberships from a single profile

🏟

Phase 3

Franchise Owners Join

Franchise Owners request to create a franchise within a league

Set franchise name, logo, and description

League Owner reviews and approves franchise requests

Approved franchise owners can browse enrolled players before the auction

Bookmark players you want to target during bidding

Receive push notification when the auction is scheduled and when it goes live

⚡

Phase 4

Live Auction Begins

League Owner schedules the auction with date, time, and player distribution settings

All participants receive push notifications before and at auction start

Players are presented one by one in randomized order

Franchise Owners bid using points within their configured max budget

Timer counts down — each new bid resets the clock, keeping tension alive

Tiered bid increments scale with the current bid price

League Owner monitors real-time online/offline status of all franchise bidders

Auctions can be paused (with reason + resume time), resumed, or stopped by the League Owner

Unsold players automatically re-enter the pool for rebidding

Auction closes when all franchises meet their minimum squad requirement

🎯

Phase 5

Post-Auction: Squads & Replay

View complete squad rosters for every franchise

Replay the full auction history at any time

Practice Mode: run a simulated auction with test data to prepare for the next event
