Tectonics allows operators, media companies and other organizations to set up contests on the mobile phone or even using landlines. As part of its Managed Services model, Tectonics doesn't just provide the technology, but also creates the question bank, does a post-contest analysis of the scores, and also manages the distribution of prizes to winners.

Tectonics Contest Solution allow for setting up four different kinds of quiz formats. These include:

N-DAY CONTESTS

In this type of contest, based on a start-date and an end-date, questions are pulled out from a question bank and presented to the user in a sequential or random order.

REGULAR CONTESTS

The difference in regular contests is that the questions can be part of a category and can be scheduled for particular days (for example, on Monday, all questions will be from sports category, on Tuesday, the category will be politics and so on).

CRICKET CONTESTS

Cricket contests support multiple categories and can be scheduled any time of the day. The main difference is that the category listings are always sequential.

TIME-BASED CONTESTS

In time-based contests, the questions can be linked to multiple units of time in a day. For example, one set of questions can be linked to morning session (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.), another to the afternoon session (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.) and so on.
