Scoreboards is the Discord points leaderboard bot built for communities that reward consistency. Run multi-event tournaments, activity-rewards programs, or long-running competitions where every contribution stacks on a running total — all tracked automatically inside your server, with a web leaderboard members can share outside it.

The basics

What is a cumulative points leaderboard?

A classic leaderboard tracks a running total per player. Every submission adds to (or subtracts from) that total, and ranks are sorted by who has the most points — the most engaged, most consistent, or simply most active members end up on top.

It's the format that works across almost every competition shape: points per tournament round, points per event attended, points per task completed.

If ELO rewards peak skill and highscore rewards single great runs, classic rewards the marathon — showing up, contributing, and accumulating over time.

Watch the points stack

Add points to Lumen's total or take some away. The board re-sorts after every submission, and 2,000 points brings a tier role.

Features

How Scoreboards does classic scoring

Cumulative point tracking

Every submission adds to a player's running total, straight from the Submit score button on the leaderboard. The board always reflects current standings — no manual tallying, no spreadsheets.

Negative scores for penalties

Submit a negative value to subtract points — useful for penalties, rule violations, or correcting a mis-entry without cancelling anything.

Decimal points

Scores keep up to three decimals, so half points and 12.25 add up exactly. Members type 12.5 or 12,5, whichever their language uses.

Milestone tier roles

Assign Discord roles at point thresholds (1K, 5K, 10K point clubs, etc.). Players see their tier update the moment they cross the line — turning passive accumulation into visible achievement.

Award points from Discord

Admins run /score and pick Adjust to add or take away points for members, a whole role at once, or names not in the server. An optional comment shows on the update in the log channel.

Verification & approval flow

Submissions can land in a log channel for moderator review before they count. Auto-approve after a configurable delay for low-friction boards.

Flexible sort order

Default to highest-first (who has the most points) or flip to lowest-first for golf-style or penalty-based competitions.

Bring your spreadsheet

Already counting points somewhere else? Import from CSV in the dashboard fills the board from one name and score per line, up to 500 rows per file.

Live web leaderboard

Every classic board gets a shareable web leaderboard with full standings — perfect for posting the current state of a multi-round tournament or a running activity-rewards program.

Flexible submissions

Multiple ways in, one leaderboard

Players submit however suits them — the Submit score button right on the leaderboard message, or straight from the web leaderboard, where a score can even go under a custom name. Both routes feed the same running total.

  1. 01

    Submit points

    Player logs a score with the Submit score button on the leaderboard message, or from the web leaderboard.

  2. 02

    Validate (optional)

    If the board has a log channel, moderators approve or reject the submission before it counts, or it auto-approves after the delay you set. Without a log channel, it counts straight away.

  3. 03

    Add to total

    Once approved, the score adds to the player's running total. Negative values subtract — useful for penalties or corrections.

  4. 04

    Board re-sorts

    The leaderboard re-ranks by the new total immediately. If the player crosses a tier-role threshold, that role is assigned in the same step.

More is better

Unlike highscore or ELO, every valid submission counts. Consistency and participation directly drive your rank.

Corrections via negatives

Made a data-entry mistake or need to enforce a penalty? Submit a negative number to subtract without deleting the original record.

Works across formats

Points can come from anywhere — tournament rounds, activity rewards, bonus challenges. The board stacks them all into one standing.

Recaps & seasons

A reason to come back every week

Points pile up over weeks, so the bot keeps the race in view: a recap every Monday, and a season end that freezes the board as its record.

The Monday recap, drawn by the same card code as the board.

A recap every Monday

Each Monday the board's channel gets a short recap of the week before. Weeks with fewer than three scores are skipped, so a quiet board stays quiet.

  • The top three
  • The biggest climber of the week
  • How many scores came in, from how many players

Recaps are on for every board. Switch one off, or send it to another channel, in the dashboard.

Seasons that freeze, never wipe

Give a season an end date in the dashboard, or end it by hand. When it ends, the board freezes: every total stays exactly as it finished, and nothing can change it.

Use cases

When to use a classic leaderboard

Multi-round tournaments

Each round's results add to running standings. The final board shows total tournament points, with every round's contribution stacked into the total.

Activity & participation rewards

Grant points for showing up, helping others, or creating content. Turn community contribution into a visible leaderboard.

Long-running events

Weeks- or months-long competitions where every activity adds points. The board grows alongside the event and keeps engagement high the whole way through.

Team-based competitions

Give each team its own row under a custom name and add every member's points to it, so teams compete on one shared running total.

Fitness and reading challenges

Log kilometres, pages or minutes as they happen, decimals included, and watch the month's total climb.

Golf scores and penalty tallies

Flip the sort order so the fewest points rank first, for golf rounds or a penalty count where staying low is the goal.

Economy · Beta

Make every result pay

Switch on the economy and every approved result on this board pays your members a currency you name. They spend it in your server's shop on roles, board emojis and name colours, so there is always a reason to play one more.

FAQ

Classic leaderboard FAQ

What is the difference between Classic and Highscore?

Classic adds every approved score to a running total, so ten scores of 50 make 500. Highscore keeps only each player's best single score. Pick Classic when taking part should count, and Highscore when one great run should.

Can players lose points?

Yes. A negative score, such as -25, comes off the running total and the board re-sorts. Admins can also run /score and pick Adjust to take points away, with a comment saying why. A total can go below zero.

Can I use decimal points?

Yes. Scores keep up to three decimals, so 12.5 or 0.25 points add up exactly, and whole numbers still show without any. Members can type 12.5 or 12,5; the separator is read the way their language writes numbers.

Can members get a role when they reach a number of points?

Yes. Open the board's Tier Roles in the dashboard, set the tier mode to Points, give the tier a minimum such as 1,000 and pick the role. The bot adds the role when a total reaches it and removes it if the total drops below. The Scoreboards role must sit above that role in Server Settings → Roles.

How do I reset the points for a new season?

You do not need to wipe anything. Give the season an end date in the dashboard, or end it there by hand, and the board freezes with its final totals; a scheduled end can also post a podium. Run the next season on a new board and let the frozen one stand as the record. An admin can unfreeze it to carry on with the same totals.

What if someone adds the wrong number?

With a log channel, a moderator rejects it before it counts. If it was already approved, an admin right-clicks the submission message, picks Cancel Review and gives a reason, and the points come back off the total. A negative correction works too.
