Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Online platform is Auction Edge (EDGE Pipeline/EDGE Simulcast); the auction’s site links to edgepipeline.com for online access. Auction Edge support docs describe registering for Pipeline and attending simulcast sales. No mobile app requirement for buyers or transporters is stated by Capital City AA; no gate pass, PIN code, digital check‑in, or virtual queue/appointment system language found on the site.
