Native 00:00:00 format
Submit times as minutes:seconds:fraction — 01:23:45 for hundredths, or 01:23:456 for full milliseconds. The bot parses and validates the format — malformed entries are rejected before they hit the board.

Discord Speedrun Bot for Fastest-Time Leaderboards
Native 00:00:00 time format, millisecond precision, and configurable sort order. Built for speedrun communities where every thousandth of a second matters.

Scoreboards is the Discord speedrun bot built for time-based competition. Whether it's game speedruns, racing laps, puzzle-solve times, or real-world timed events, players submit runs in 00:00:00 format, the board sorts fastest-first (or slowest-first for endurance formats), and a web leaderboard keeps every PB shareable outside Discord.
The basics
What is a speedrun leaderboard?
A speedrun (or time) leaderboard ranks players by how fast they completed something. Each player's personal best is kept, slower attempts are ignored, and the board sorts fastest to slowest so the top time sits on top.
The format comes from video-game speedrunning communities but works for anything timed: racing laps, escape-room clears, puzzle solves, 5K runs — any activity where the stopwatch decides the winner.
When the difference between first and second is a thousandth of a second, you need a system that respects that precision. That's what a time leaderboard is for.
Run it again
Press Run again for Nova's next attempt. A slower time changes nothing; a faster one replaces the personal best and the board re-sorts, fastest first.

Features
How Scoreboards does speedruns
Millisecond precision
Times are stored to the millisecond, so razor-thin margins rank correctly instead of collapsing into a tie. Each board displays hundredths or milliseconds — your choice in the dashboard.
Fastest-first or slowest-first
Choose ascending sort for speedruns (lowest time wins) or descending for endurance formats (longest time wins) — the bot handles both.
Personal-best tracking
Only each player's best time stays on the board. Slower attempts are quietly ignored, so the leaderboard is always a true PB ranking.
Verification & approval flow
Submissions can land in a log channel for moderator review — useful when runs need video or screenshot proof before they count. Auto-approve after a configurable delay for low-friction boards.
Cancelled runs fall back
Cancel an approved run and the board works out that player's best again from the runs that still count, so their previous record comes back. A player whose only run is cancelled leaves the board.
Live web leaderboard
Every speedrun board gets a web leaderboard with every player's PB and full submission history — shareable outside Discord for recruiting runners and bragging rights.
Weekly recaps
Every Monday the board's channel gets the three fastest times, the week's biggest climber and how many runs were posted. Weeks with fewer than three runs are skipped, and recaps can be switched off per board.
Seasons that freeze
End a season and the board freezes exactly as it finished, with a podium posted. Nothing is reset: the frozen board stays up as that season's record, and a new board starts the next one.

Flexible submissions
Multiple ways in, one leaderboard
Players submit however suits them — the Submit button right on the leaderboard message, or straight from the web leaderboard, where a time can even be logged under a custom name. Times post in 00:00:00 format no matter which route, and the board picks up each new PB immediately.
- 01
Time the run
Player completes the run, lap, or timed activity and records their time.
- 02
Submit the time
Hit Submit and enter the time in 00:00:00 format. The bot rejects malformed entries before they hit the board.
- 03
Validate (optional)
Moderators can require video or screenshot proof and approve the run in the log channel before it counts.
- 04
PB comparison
If the new time is faster than the player's current PB, it replaces the record and re-sorts the board. Slower attempts are ignored.
One board per variant
Running multiple formats? Spin up separate boards — one per race length, one per game mode, one per route. Each keeps its own records without mixing rules.
Millisecond tie-breaking
When two runs differ by a hair, the board ranks them correctly — no collapsing to identical times, no disputed ties.
Moderated when it matters
For boards where runs need proof (video, screenshot, witness), send submissions through a log channel so a run doesn't count until a mod signs off.
Use cases
When to use a speedrun leaderboard
Video-game speedruns
Track best completion times for any game or level, with separate boards if you want to split by game mode or ruleset.
Racing & lap times
Time trials, kart racing, sim-racing lap times, track completions — anywhere fastest-lap is the metric.
Puzzle & timed challenges
Quiz-solve speed, memory challenges, escape rooms — anything with a start-and-stop timer.
Real-world timed events
Running splits, cycling laps, obstacle-course runs — any real-world activity where speed is the prize.
Endurance & survival
Plank holds, breath holds, survival runs: flip the sort order to descending and the longest time takes the top.
Event time trials
Run a time trial for a weekend event, end the season when it closes, and the frozen board stays up as the result.

FAQ
Speedrun leaderboard FAQ
How do players enter a time?
As minutes, seconds and the fraction, separated by colons: 01:23:45 is one minute and 23.45 seconds, and 01:23:456 adds the milliseconds. The board shows the same run with a dot before the fraction, 01:23.45, so a lap time can't be misread as hours, minutes and seconds. In Discord, a time in any other shape is turned away with the format to use.
Should my board show hundredths or milliseconds?
New boards show milliseconds; pick hundredths if your game's timer stops there. Times are stored to the millisecond either way, so switching under Time Configuration in the dashboard loses nothing — hundredths only hides the last digit.
Can the longest time win instead?
Yes. Choose descending under More options after /leaderboard create, or under Sort Order in the dashboard. The longest time then tops the board and each player keeps their longest run as their best, which suits plank holds, survival runs and other endurance challenges.
What happens to a slower run?
It is recorded but changes nothing on the board: only a time faster than the player's personal best replaces it. If an approved run is cancelled later, the board falls back to the player's best remaining run.
Can moderators check runs before they count?
Yes. Give the board a log channel and every run waits there, with its screenshot if the runner attached one, until a validator or admin approves it. Auto-approval can let runs through on their own after a delay, from instantly to seven days.
Can I add times for runners who aren't on Discord?
Yes. Press Submit on the board's web leaderboard and type their name: the web is the one route that takes a custom name, and the time lands on the same board.
