Abstract
An application controls an online auction event. In the auction event, a user is provided a first selectable option for setting a bid value and a second selectable option for placing a bid at the bid value. A countdown value maintained by the server and provided to the computing device is set to an initial value at the beginning of the auction event, begins decreasing from the initial value according to a mathematical formula, and decreases to a final value at the end of the auction event. If the application receives a bid from the computing device during the auction event as a result of a user selecting the second selectable option and the application determines that the bid is a super bid, the application overrides the mathematical formula and adjusts the countdown value to a new value.
