How BidParTee Revolutionizes Calcutta Auctions

Member/member and Member/Guest are an exciting blend of competition and camaraderie, and Calcutta auctions amplify the thrill by bringing members together in a lively, competitive atmosphere. But many clubs experienced quite the opposite - they become synonymous with stress and chaos rather than enjoyment.

The Challenge Calcutta Auctions Spiraling Out of Control. The club Pros and Tournament committees have seen it all:

1. Overwhelming Chaos: The clubhouse transforms into a noisy battlefield of bidding wars. Amidst the laughter and shouts, staff struggle to keep track of bids on sheets of paper and whiteboards.

2. Errors and Miscommunication: Missing bids, incorrect winner assignments, and disputes over payouts are common. These hiccups not only frustrate participants but also erode trust in the process.

3. Time-Consuming Reconciliation: After the event, organizing team spend hours reconciling bids, winners, and records—turning what should have been a night of celebration into a logistical nightmare.

Despite the enthusiasm for the event, the staff dread its approach each year. It is clear that the auction process needed a complete overhaul.

The Solution: BidParTee

How BidParTee Made a Difference

1. Pre-Event Setup:

   • BidParTee allows an easy set up of the auction in advance, including player names, pairings, and starting prices.

   • Participants receive access to the auction through a QR code, with clear and simple instructions on how to use the platform.

2. Real-Time Bidding:

   • On the night of the auction, attendees could bid directly from their devices, eliminating the need for shouting matches or manual recording.

   • A live screen  displays the live action with all the current bids, creating excitement and transparency without the chaos.

3. Instant Reconciliation:

   • Once the auction ends, BidParTee automatically calculated dues and stores all records digitally, saving the staff hours of work.

The Result: A Night to Remember
The transformation is astounding. Instead of wrestling with clipboards and calculators, the team could mingle with attendees, enjoying the lively atmosphere as much as the participants.

• Participant Experience: Members appreciate the transparency and ease of use. One attendee noted, “For the first time, I could focus on enjoying the night instead of worrying about whether my bid was recorded correctly.”

• Staff Experience: The staff finishes the night without the usual exhaustion.  Our clients quote - “BidParTee didn’t just make our auction easier; it made it better in every way.”
