Ownership Bidding

The bidding started with Aryan Juggernauts.

The bidding was intense with bids starting from 1500 and touching 2000 mark within 2 minutes of the process. The teams had no doubts in mind as the figure kept going beyond 3000 and still the bid were loud and fast. Past 3300 the bids came slow and the teams seemed like they had hit their stop loss point. Till 3000 the bids came in increments of 100's and at times even 200's, but past 3300 the bids came in increments of 50
.
Who said the bidding was gonna be settled so soon. The bids are past 4000 and still going strong :).

The bid has gone past 4500 and still showing no signs of stopping. It seems Varun/Mayank and Kuldeep/Sudeep aren't gonna let it go :).

Concealed bidding under progress now for Gladiators. I am only imagining phone numbers for this bid :)
A stalemate here due to slight confusion in the rules. The bidding is suspended for the time being. We're starting with the bidding once all the teams are clear with the rules. It seems now that when the bidding touches 5000 mark the open bidding stops and then we'll have concealed bidding to decide the winner.

After a lot of confusion; the bidding is going to start afresh with Rs 1500 for Aryan Juggernauts.

and BANG! Varun/Mayank bid 5000 at the start. Then the OC decided to ask for a show of hands of the teams who're interested in bidding for Aryans and all teams except Ishani/Kashyap are in the race. Now we're having concealed bids for the Aryan Juggernauts :)


For a whopping Rs 8350 Aryan Juggernauts goes to - Kuldeep/Sudeep

Next team on the bidding table is - Southern Stallions.

Again Mayank/Varun start off with 1550. Some others came up with small numbers until Raghav/Srinivas came up with Rs 5000 and we again had concealed bidding.

All the teams are in the fray this time and the bids are being written as I type. This is so exciting. I once again wish we had a live webcast instead of the blog :)

All 5 bids are in and we're now waiting for Malay to tabulate the bids and tell us who got last year's runners up - Stallions.

Raghav/Srinivas get Stallions for Rs 10050. Never thought these guys had such big bucks :)


Now the winner from last year - Eastern Gladiators

Mayank/Varun don't even wink before going to Rs 5000 this time. Concealed bidding under progress now for Gladiators. I am only imagining phone numbers for this bid :)

Bids getting collected now, last few seconds before we know who has the gladiators this year.

and the award goes to........................Ishani/Kashyap for Rs 10500. Gladiators are gone baby.

Now the last team in the fray - Mumbai Hawks

We have again had the situation like last round with Rs 5000 call coming even before the bid opened. This time also from Mayank/Varun. We're gonna see a tough fight for this.....

Mayank/Varun have had enough of this. Blazers all taken off, as if ready for a fight :)

The last team goes to...........Mayank/Varun for Rs 11000.

Keep watching this space for the exciting action. Wish we could've had a live webcast :D


So we've the final list here:

  • Aryan Juggernauts - Kuldeep Rana & Sudeep Deb
  • Southern Stallions - Raghav Mehta & Srinivas R
  • Eastern Gladiators - Ishani Gandhar & Kashyap Krishnan
  • Mumbai Hawks - Varun Mahajan & Mayank Kumar
