Silent Auction

Silent auction is a variant of the English auction in which bids are written on a sheet of paper. At the predetermined end of the auction, the highest listed bidder wins the item. The auction is "silent" in that there is no auctioneer selling individual items, the bidders writing their bids on a bidding sheet are left on a table near the item. Bid sheets have a fixed starting amount, predetermined bid increments, and a "guaranteed bid" amount which works the same as a "buy now" amount.

 

Kho Kho

Each of the participating teams consists of nine to twelve players. There are two innings in a match and an innings consists of chasing and running turns of 7 minutes each.

One player of the chasing team play the role of an active chaser and the remaining eight members of the team sit in their eight squares on the central lane, alternately facing the opposite direction. The active chaser stands at either of the posts and gets ready to begin the pursuit. It is mandatory for the members of the chasing team to put their opponent out by touching them with their palms and without committing a foul. The defenders are actually the main active players in the game of Kho-Kho, as they try to play out the 7 minutes time, and the chasers keep on trying to dismiss them.

In Kho-Kho, there are three ways through which a defender can be dismissed;

  1. If an active chaser touches him with his palm without committing a foul,
  2. If the defender goes out of the limits on his own or
  3. If the defender enters the limit late.

The defenders are allowed to move on both sides of the central lane, however, the active chaser does not have the permission to change the direction to which he is committed. He is also not allowed to cross the central lane. An active chaser can only change his position with a seated chaser, by touching him from behind by palm, and uttering the word `Kho` loudly
