Auctions run daily, on the hour, from **6am AEST to 9pm AEST**. Each auction is set to run for **72 hours**. *** ### How Listings Are Determined Auction listings are driven by a combination of: * **Highest selected %** — the most widely held players across the community * **Biggest short-term rises in selected %** — players gaining traction fast * **Overall player activity** — active, relevant cards only This means you'll only see quality listings. Inactive or low-value cards will not be listed. Rarity limits are also in place to ensure a healthy mix — you won't see the same players or only top-tier cards listed repeatedly. *** ### Identifying the Official GDS Account All auctions are conducted exclusively through the official GDS admin account. Always verify the following before engaging: * **Account name**: GDS Official * **Profile picture**: The GDS logo
*** ### Auction Details * **Auction Duration**: 72 hours per listing * **New listings appear every hour** between 6am–9pm AEST — check the marketplace regularly so you don't miss out *** ### Where to Find Auctions All active auction listings are visible directly in the **GDS Transfer Market**. New opportunities go live every hour, so keep an eye on the market. > **Note**: Posting in the Discord auctions channel is no longer required. All listings are handled automatically. *** ### Why We Run Official Auctions Transparency is a core value at GameDay Squad. Here's why this initiative exists: * **Unlocking Dormant Value** — Cards from closed or banned accounts that would otherwise remain unused now have a chance to enhance your squads * **Fair Opportunity** — Auctioning cards gives every coach equal access to secure valuable additions for their team * **Quality Over Quantity** — Automated listing logic ensures only relevant, active players make it to auction *** We're committed to making this process fair and beneficial for the whole community. Happy auctioning!
