Can virtual attendees participate in the live auction?
The live auction is not available for virtual attendees. However, virtual attendees can make a donation towards the Accunet Challenge Match during the Raise the Paddle portion of the program.
How to place an auto bid
You can set an amount using the Auto Bid feature and the system will automatically place minimum bids for you as needed up to that amount. The system will bid incrementally up to the amount designated as long as someone else places a bid against you. If no one bids against your Auto Bid, the price remains the same.
- Click the item of interest.
- Click "Auto Bid."
- Enter in the maximum amount you would like to bid.
- Click "Bid."
Note: When two bids are placed for the same amount, the bid placed first based on the timestamp wins. Timestamps are set when the initial bid is placed; for auto bids, this is when a maximum was set, not when the system prompted the bid to win.
When does the auction close?
The auction closes at 8:00 pm on Thursday, October 6.
How will I get the items I win?
