What is Tournament Leaderboard?

A tournament leaderboard ranks players over a fixed window by a scoring rule, and pays the top positions from a stated prize pool. The scoring rule is the whole thing, and it is often skimmed. Ranking by total wagered rewards volume and is effectively a spending contest. Ranking by biggest single win multiplier rewards a lucky spin at any stake and is far cheaper to compete in. Ranking by net profit rewards neither reliably. Two leaderboards with identical prize pools can therefore ask completely different things of an entrant. Check which games count as well. Most leaderboards weight or exclude titles, and a slot excluded from scoring is one where your play earns nothing toward the ranking.
