  3. Give clear cues so producer so they can take action to change pledge levels, close auctions, sell more, declare winner, etc.

Clerk

The Clerk captures bids and pledges in real-time from the room. They will enter the paddle numbers as the auctioneer reads out the paddle numbers. The content on their screen will be controlled by the producer. The clerk can override the pledge level or bidding amount if needed.
