**How Leaderboards Work**

**Ranking System:** Arcadia's leaderboards rank players based on their performance across various games. Each game has its own leaderboard, ensuring that players can excel in their preferred games while competing against others with similar interests. Rankings are determined by factors such as win rates, points scored, tournament placements, and other game-specific metrics.

**Real-Time Updates:** Our leaderboards are updated in real-time, providing immediate feedback on player performance. This dynamic system allows players to see their progress and standings after each match or tournament, fostering a competitive atmosphere where every game counts.

**Rewarding Excellence:** To incentivize top performance, Arcadia offers rewards for high-ranking players. These rewards include $GAMES tokens, exclusive in-game items, and other valuable perks. By recognizing and rewarding excellence, we aim to keep players engaged and motivated to climb the ranks.
