What are the options available for me to customise leaderboard view?
Leaderboards are awesome but sometimes it isnt right to show one. For that reason we have empowered the game host to pick a leaderboard that is suitable for the activity. You can show rankings by time, score or both or if it isn't really a competition, then you can simply show a completion board. The choice is up to you.
