Leaderboard System
Core Features
Manual Score Entry
The primary way scores are updated: click a participant and enter a value, use score buttons (+1, +5, +10, or custom amounts), or type a score directly. Supports decimals and negative scores. Every change is logged with a timestamp and optional comment, and recent changes can be undone with a single click.
Participant Management
Add participants by name in seconds, or bulk-import from a CSV file. Edit names inline, delete with confirmation, search and filter lists. Profile image uploads available on paid plans.
Display Customization
Dozens of built-in themes covering seasonal, sports, gaming, and stylistic variations, plus a wide font selection, adjustable sizes, and show/hide controls for elements like rank numbers, profile images, and timestamps. Custom backgrounds and image-based themes are available on Plus; custom CSS is available on Pro.
Sharing and Access
Every board gets a presentation link (read-only, no login required for viewers), a private admin link (full control), and a scorekeeper link for delegated score entry. The scorekeeper link gives a clean, focused interface showing only participant names and scoring functions. QR codes for all access types. Website widget available on Pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do viewers need an account or login?
No. The presentation link is open to anyone — no account, no login, no app required. Share the link or QR code and your team can check the leaderboard on any device instantly.
How do I enter scores?
Most users enter scores manually using the admin panel. Click a participant to type a value, or use the score buttons (+1, +5, +10, or any custom amount). Every change is logged with a timestamp and you can add a comment to explain it.
Can multiple people update the same board?
Yes. Share the admin link or a dedicated scorekeeper link with others. All updates synchronize in real-time across every user and viewer.
How many participants can I add?
Free accounts support up to 25 participants per board. Plus plan supports up to 100, and Pro supports up to 500. Most small teams and classrooms fit comfortably within the free limit.
Can I add a leaderboard widget to my website or intranet?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Boards can be embedded as a widget using an iframe — it resizes automatically and updates in real-time, and ships without Leaderboarded branding.
Is Leaderboarded mobile-friendly?
Yes. Both the presentation link and the admin panel are fully responsive. The interface adapts automatically to phones, tablets, and desktops with touch-optimized controls.
Can I customize the appearance?
Yes. Choose from 30+ themes, 24 fonts, custom colors, and multiple layouts. Paid plans let you upload a company logo. The Pro plan also includes custom CSS to match your brand.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Export to Excel and CSV at any time — current scores, full score history, and participant information.
Does Leaderboarded connect to Google Sheets or other tools?
Yes. You can connect a Google Sheet to create a live leaderboard. Publish your sheet to the web (no API keys needed), paste the link, and your board is created instantly. Edit your data in Google Sheets, then click "Sync data" on the board to pull the latest changes. There's also an API for pushing scores programmatically from a CRM or other system. That said, most users don't need any integration — they just enter scores by hand.
How do I let someone else keep score?
Share the scorekeeper link from the Share dialog. The person receiving it sees a clean, focused interface with only participant names and scoring functions — no settings or admin controls. Works on any device, no account required. You can generate a QR code for the link too.
