UNIQUE FEATURES
OF RUNTIVA
Runtiva isn't just another fantasy sports app.
It's a next-generation platform designed to make every match more exciting, more strategic, and more rewarding.
Here's what makes Runtiva stand out from the rest:
Booster System - Multiply Your Points
The Booster Feature is one of Runtiva's most powerful innovations.
Instead of relying only on your Captain and Vice-Captain for bonus points, you can activate boosters on one or more players (depending on the contest type).
■ Boosters allow you to amplify points earned by specific players.
■ You decide when and on whom to apply them. It's all about smart timing and strategy.
■ Choosing the right player to boost can completely change your leaderboard position!
It's a game-changing feature that adds depth, excitement, and control to your fantasy experience. Every match becomes a test of your strategy - not just luck.
Multi-Game Contests - Keep the Action Going
Want more than a single-match thrill?
Join Runtiva's Multi-Game Contests - where you compete across multiple fixtures, either on the same day or over several days (like a weekend league).
Here's how it works:
■ Each match contributes to your overall score.
■ At the end of the final game, winners are chosen based on cumulative performance.
■ You can update your strategy or lineup for matches that haven't started yet.
This keeps players engaged and competitive from the first ball to the last, with rewards and excitement building up throughout the series.
Fifty-Fifty Contests - Fair Chances, Real Rewards
The Fifty-Fifty format gives you one of the fairest ways to play fantasy cricket. In these contests, half of all participants win prizes!
Why players love it:
■ 50% chance of winning - far higher than traditional contests.
■ Great for both new and experienced users.
■ Balanced risk and reward - perfect if you like steady competition.
Whether you're new to fantasy cricket or a seasoned strategist, Fifty-Fifty contests let you test your skill and enjoy a genuine chance to win every time you play.
