Real-Time Live Bidding for Cricket Auctions
Sub-50ms latency. No refreshes. Every bid synced instantly across all devices.
What is Real-Time Live Bidding?
Real-time live bidding means every participant sees bid updates instantly — no manual refresh, no delays.
CricSmart uses WebSocket technology (same tech powering stock trading platforms) to push updates to all connected devices simultaneously. When a team owner clicks "Bid", everyone sees it within 50 milliseconds.
Why it matters: In a fast-paced IPL-style auction, even a 2-second delay causes confusion — multiple teams might think they're the highest bidder. Our WebSocket architecture eliminates this entirely.
How CricSmart Live Bidding Works
WebSocket Connection
Persistent connection — no repeated API calls
Synchronized State
All participants share the same auction state in real-time
Visual Feedback
Animated bid ticker, team highlights, countdown timer
Conflict Resolution
Server-authoritative bidding prevents conflicts
