Leaderboards is a fun experience where you can compete with other Duos in a league. This feature is available on the iOS/Android app and desktop web. You can earn XP and rise in the ranks of your leaderboard. Then the top ten XP performers of that league will be “promoted” to a higher tier for the next week. The bottom XP performers will be demoted to the previous tier.
When do Leaderboards start?
Each weekly league starts Sunday afternoon/evening based on your device’s timezone.
What happens to the top 3?
Congrats! You are promoted to the next league. There is no league higher than Diamond. If you reach the top 3 of Diamond, you will remain in that league.
NOTE: We no longer offer gem rewards for those in the top 3.
How do you earn XP?
XP will be counted towards your weekly leaderboard through individual lessons, practice, Stories and more! You can learn more about XP here.
Note: You must do an online lesson in order to be placed in a league.
What are all the leagues?
Glad you asked! We have the following leagues (in order):
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Pearl, Obsidian, and Diamond.
