# Leaderboards

> See where you rank against other members

A leaderboard ranks members of a community by a metric — typically XP — over a specified window. Leaderboards are automated: nothing for you to join, nothing to opt in to. Your rank updates as you earn.

## Types

See [Leaderboard Types](/user-guide/leaderboards/types). The common windows are daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time, plus scheduled leaderboards with explicit start/end dates.

## Prizes

Many leaderboards have **prizes** tied to placement — the top N members at the end of the window may be awarded rewards automatically. See [Rewards & recognition](/user-guide/leaderboards/rewards-recognition).

## Scheduled leaderboards

A leaderboard can have a start and end date. Before the start, the leaderboard may display a **coming soon** page with the start time. At the end, winners are finalised and prizes distributed; a historical snapshot may remain visible.

## Time-left indicator

For time-bound leaderboards, a countdown indicates how long until the current window closes.

## Reading your rank

Leaderboards show your rank in a highlighted row so you can find yourself in a long list. The rank reflects the XP you've earned inside the window's timeframe.
