Outbid your friends. Build the best seven. Best team wins.

How the handball auction works

1. 📲Create a game and send the link. Share the link with the team after practice or in the club chat. Everyone plays on their own phone, in the clubhouse or at home.
2. 🔨Bid on one handball player at a time. Goalkeepers, wings, backs and pivots are auctioned one at a time, stars from 1990 up to today. Goalkeepers are scarce, and everyone knows it.
3. 🏟️Set up your seven on court. The match runs over 60 minutes with the score building goal by goal. Level at the end? It goes to 7-metre throws, and the stronger seven wins them.

Plus three more handball games

• 🕵️Guess the player. Six clues about a mystery handball player, one at a time. Name them first — a wrong guess hands everyone else the point.
• ❤️This or That. Two handball players, same position, same era. One of you picks in secret, the rest guess which.
• 🎭Imposter. Everyone gets the same handball player except one bluffer. One word each, then vote.

Why handball fans keep playing the auction

• ⚡Real bidding wars. The goalkeeper is the most important single buy: there are far fewer of them than backs, and a team without one is in trouble.
• 🏆168 handball players to fight over. 22 goalkeepers, 20 left wings, 20 right wings, 27 left backs, 23 right backs, 30 centre backs and 26 pivots. Drawn at random, so no two auctions are the same.
• 📣Every manager gets a verdict. Paid 40M for a reserve? The whole group will know.
• 📺Put it on the big screen. Open deadlineday.app/tv and the auction, every seven and the result play out on the TV while you bid on your phones.
• 🤖Only two of you? Add computer managers, each with their own bidding style.
• 🚫No ads. Ever. Nothing gets between you and the hammer.

What does the handball auction cost?

The handball auction rules in one minute

• Budget: every manager starts with 100M of play money. You always keep enough to fill the rest of your squad, so you can never go broke.
• Squad: 10 players: seven on court including a goalkeeper, and three on the bench.
• Bidding: the clock starts at 10 seconds and every bid restarts it. Tap Pass when you are out, and when everyone has passed the hammer falls straight away.
• Hidden ratings: you never see a handball player's rating during the auction. You bid on what you know.
• The last manager standing: when everyone else has a full squad, the last manager gets random handball players to fill theirs. Bid while you can.
• Lineup: Set up your seven on court: Classic 3-3, Two pivots or Empty goal 7v6. A wing at pivot or a back in goal costs rating. Pull the goalkeeper for Empty goal 7v6 and you gamble on attack.
• The result: a season and a final. A draw after 60 minutes goes to 7-metre throws, which the stronger seven always wins.
