Any experiences with MFL live auction software this year? (1 Viewer)

[GregR]

The first two years they've had this, there have been some growing pains. Anyone used it for a live auction this year, and any gotchas or problems we should be aware of in advance of our auctions?

Didnt have any issues last year or this year. What sort of problems have you had in the past?

The biggest problem last year, was near the end of drafts the auction would begin skipping owners when it was their turn to nominate. It skipped so frequently it was almost like it was just going to every 2nd owner who had roster space left to make the next nomination. I ran into it in both of the live auctions I did, and others here reported hitting it as well. Reported it at MFL at the time and they said they were aware and working on it.

Last year I wound up paying for FanDraft and that worked well enough that we just went that way again this year. Our auction is in-person, and the MFL software isn't at all set up to do in-person auctions. We don't want the software to track bids, only to keep track of who has spent what, and to display the draft board. At least last year, there was no way to turn off the timers and just put in the auction results.
