Leaderboards

A leaderboard is a ranked list of participants sorted by score. Scores update in real time across all connected viewers.


When to use a leaderboard

  • Sales competitions and rep rankings
  • Classroom reading challenges and gamification
  • Fitness and step count challenges
  • Hackathon and contest standings
  • Gaming tournaments and esports rankings

Creating a leaderboard

  1. Go to your dashboard and click New Board.
  2. Select Leaderboard as the board type.
  3. Give your board a name (e.g. "Q1 Sales Leaderboard").
  4. Click Create and your board is live immediately.

Adding participants

Type a participant name in the input field and press Enter. They appear on the board instantly with a score of 0. You can add as many participants as your plan allows.

Updating scores

Click on a participant's score to edit it. The leaderboard automatically re-sorts by score, and all viewers see the change in real time. No page refresh needed.

You can also increment or decrement scores with the +/- buttons for quick updates during live events.

Score bars

Each participant gets a visual score bar that fills proportionally to the highest score. This makes it easy to see relative performance at a glance, especially on TVs and projectors.

Tips for great leaderboards

  • Keep it visible: Display on a TV in the office, classroom, or event space.
  • Update frequently: The more often scores change, the more engagement you get.
  • Use colors: Pick a primary color that matches your brand or event theme.
  • Share the link: Let participants check their own standing from their phones.
