The Leaderboard tab in the Event Management dashboard shows real-time project rankings for your event. Access it from the Event Management Overview by clicking the Leaderboard tab. The leaderboard aggregates judge scores and community votes (when enabled) into a unified ranking that updates as new scores come in.

Leaderboard display

The leaderboard shows all scored projects ranked from highest to lowest overall score:

Judge ScoreAverage score from all judges who evaluated the project
Community VotesNumber of community votes received (when community judging is enabled)
Overall ScoreCombined score used for final ranking
RoundWhich judging round the score is from

How scores are calculated

The overall score that determines rankings is calculated by combining judge scores and community votes:

Judge scores only (community judging disabled)

When community judging is not enabled, the leaderboard ranking is based entirely on judge scores:
  • Each project’s score is the average of all judge scores in its group
  • If category weighting is enabled, criteria are weighted before averaging
  • Projects are ranked from highest to lowest average score

Judge scores + community votes (community judging enabled)

When community judging is enabled in Event Settings, community votes are factored into the overall ranking alongside judge scores. The leaderboard displays both components so you can see how each contributes to the final ranking.
Judge scores and community votes are displayed separately on the leaderboard so event managers can evaluate both signals independently.

Score breakdowns

Click on any project in the leaderboard to see a detailed score breakdown:
  • Per-judge scores — how each individual judge scored the project, broken down by criterion
  • Criteria averages — average score for each criterion across all judges
  • Community vote count — total votes from community voting
  • Round history — scores from each judging round the project participated in (for multi-round tournaments)

Filtering and views

The leaderboard supports filtering to help you focus on specific subsets:
  • By round — view rankings for a specific judging round
  • By group — see rankings within a single judging group
  • Overall — the default view showing final rankings across all rounds

Using the leaderboard during events

The leaderboard is useful at different stages of your event:
