However, please note that they will be sent an email notification each time you proxy bid on their behalf.

In order to proxy bid:

2. Click on the name of the Participant who you wish to bid for.

3. In the popup, go to the correct tab for the current state of your event that you wish to proxy bid for. (RFQ, Qual. Bids or Auction).

4. Click on the Proxy Bid button.

5. Enter your bid and then press Submit.

6. You will see a pop-up like this. Press Submit to confirm.
