FAQ

Questions organisers ask

When does the registration money reach us?

Players pay through a secure payment gateway and the money settles to the organiser's bank account. [Add your settlement timeline.]

How many players and teams can we have?

Small village events to big leagues. DPL 2027 had 122 players, 10 teams and 2 groups.

Do we need internet at the venue?

Yes, a stable connection for the admin app and screens; a good mobile hotspot usually works. YouTube streaming needs a steady upload, and we check your ground beforehand. [Add minimum speed.]

Can the player book be in Marathi?

Yes. Titles in English or मराठी, in any of 12 designs.

Do you bring a camera for YouTube?

Your choice. Our person can stream with your camera at no extra cost, or we bring our own camera for ₹3,499.

Who pays: us or our players?

You choose. Pay the plan and add-ons yourself, let players pay all of it, or split it 70/30, 50/50 or 30/70. The players' part is divided equally and added to each player's online registration. Use the price calculator to see the exact amount per player.

What is the 3% bank charge?

When players register and pay online on Ball & Bat, they pay a 3% bank charge on the amount they pay. If you register players yourself and send us an Excel/CSV list, there is no bank charge, and you pay the plan and add-ons yourself.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is free up to 40 km from Ichalkaranji. For grounds farther away, travel is charged extra and confirmed on WhatsApp before booking. On auction day, the organiser arranges lunch/dinner for our team.

Which YouTube channel is the auction streamed on?

On the Ball & Bat channel, with your tournament name in the title and your sponsors in the description. Streaming on your own channel costs ₹500 extra.

How early should we book?

As soon as your auction date is fixed. [Add minimum lead time.] Weekend dates fill up fast in season.
