The format of auctioneering competitions
Auctioneering competitions are designed to test the skills and knowledge of each competitor. They require competitors to take part in a simulated auction, made intentionally difficult with complex bidding sequences and difficult legal questions. Competitors must retain their wit, charm and confidence, despite the challenging circumstances. A strict time limit is imposed.
The competitions are said to be more challenging than a real-life auction, as every element is designed to test the knowledge, skill and composure of the competitor.
