A competition leaderboard, not a genetic lottery leaderboard.
TruRace leaderboards are built around matched competition. During the pilot, the scoreboard is simple: one overall leaderboard, clear points, and published prizes for the top three.
Verified standings
Points, wins, podiums, and results that hold up.
One pilot leaderboard
During the pilot, TruRace uses one overall leaderboard with no race bands. The top three final pilot standings receive $500, $300, and $200.
Win on performance, not genetics
The pilot keeps the ranking simple: one overall table ordered by points, with ties resolved by wins, podiums, and best finish time.
Consistency matters
Leaderboards are designed to reward strong repeated performances across a season or membership period, not just one lucky result.
How TruRace leaderboards work
TruRace is built on the idea that leaderboard competition should mean something to more than just elite runners. The platform is designed to make leaderboard success feel attainable through fairer comparison groups and repeated strong performances.
During the pilot, the leaderboard is one overall ranking shaped by verified results, points, wins, podiums, and best finish time. Race bands may return after the pilot, but they are not used for current pilot standings.
In other words: you do not need to decode separate bands or categories during the pilot. You need to earn points and climb the overall board.
Core leaderboard rules
- During the pilot, there is one overall leaderboard with no bands.
- Pilot leaderboard prizes are $500 for first, $300 for second, and $200 for third.
- Race bands may be added after the pilot, but they are not used for current pilot standings.
- Only verified results count toward leaderboard standings.
- A minimum number of completed races is required to remain fully leaderboard-eligible.
- Best N results count toward leaderboard standings rather than every single race result.
- TruRace may adjust leaderboard rules and eligibility standards to preserve fairness and integrity.
Bands are not part of the pilot
The current pilot leaderboard is deliberately simple: one overall ranking across pilot members. No athlete is assigned to a leaderboard band during the pilot.
Post-pilot structure may evolve
Race bands may return after the pilot if they help create better long-term competition. If they do, TruRace will publish those rules before they affect standings.
Integrity still matters
Even without bands, TruRace may review suspicious results, misleading seed times, or unverifiable performances to protect the pilot leaderboard.
Scoring and eligibility
Best N results count
Leaderboards are designed around a best-results model rather than counting every race equally. This rewards strong performances while still encouraging repeated participation.
Minimum race requirement
The pilot may require completed and verified results for full prize eligibility. This helps prevent the leaderboard from being decided by one isolated appearance.
Rolling competition periods
For paid membership tiers, leaderboard and prize logic may operate on a rolling 12-month membership period rather than a simple calendar year. This allows the platform to tie rankings and benefits to active membership windows.
Integrity and verification
- Only official or otherwise verified results are eligible to count.
- TruRace may request supporting evidence, race links, screenshots, or organizer confirmation before a result is counted.
- False submissions, manipulated results, or misleading seed times may lead to removal from a leaderboard, disqualification, or account suspension.
- TruRace may exclude results from races, courses, or conditions that are not reasonably comparable within a given leaderboard framework.
- TruRace may resolve ties, missing data, and unusual edge cases using published rules or administrative review.
- TruRace reserves the right to protect leaderboard integrity over strict automation when unusual cases arise.
How tiers connect to leaderboards
Free tier
The free tier may be included in limited or non-cash leaderboard formats intended to let runners experience the platform and begin building a competitive history.
Paid tiers
Paid membership tiers can include fuller leaderboard participation, prize-heat access, and tier-specific competition logic tied to the member’s active 12-month period.
Prize and non-prize participation
Leaderboards can include a mix of prize-eligible and non-prize competitive experiences depending on membership tier, pilot rules, and current product phase.
What this means in practice
During the pilot, every eligible member is ranked together on one leaderboard. Points determine the standings, with wins, podiums, and best time used as tie-breakers.
The final top three pilot leaderboard athletes receive published cash awards: $500 for first, $300 for second, and $200 for third.
Race bands may be revisited after the pilot, but they are not part of current pilot standings or pilot leaderboard payouts.
Don't just race the clock. Race people.
TruRace is building a leaderboard system that rewards meaningful competition, repeated performance, and fairer comparison groups. The goal is simple: make more runners feel like the competition is actually theirs to chase.
