leaderboard
Tournament standings chart
A leaderboard is a display ranking participants by score or performance, typically in games, competitions, or sales contexts.
Video games popularized the term—arcade machines showed high scores, and online games track global rankings.
The concept extends to business: The sales leaderboard updates weekly.
Leaderboards gamify competition, motivating participants to climb higher.
