Leaderboards aggregate results across multiple tournaments into a leaderboard that ranks players based on their cumulative performance.
Leaderboards are a competitive format that – unlike ladders, which rank players based on their in-game performances – ranks players based on their performance in tournaments. The rankings are displayed on a leaderboard that aggregates results from multiple tournaments, creating a cumulative list of top performers over time. This creates an ongoing competition where players can strive to improve and climb the leaderboard to claim the top spot. As such, leaderboards provide a way to engage players in a long-lasting and exciting competition.
Since leaderboards are based on performance in tournaments, you can start creating leaderboards as soon as your game supports tournaments – no additional work required.
Support tournaments for your game, either by setting it up for players to report their own results or by fully automating them.
While optional, showing leaderboards and standings in-game is a powerful way to drive player engagement.
