The leaderboard your players will fight for.
Live rankings for tournaments, clans, streamers and Discord communities. Push scores from any game with a REST API, drop it into OBS as a browser source, and watch your community climb in real time.
Competition is the game inside the game.
The scoreboard isn't just a record — it's the loop that keeps players logging in, streamers grinding hours, and clans recruiting. Give your community something to climb.
Retention through rivalry
A persistent leaderboard turns one-off matches into a long-running season. Players come back to defend rank, not just to play.
Status is the prize
Top spots are bragging rights — clan flair, Discord roles, stream callouts. The board is the trophy case your community actually looks at.
Content engine for streamers
Viewer challenges, sub-only races, prediction ladders. Boards turn passive watchers into competing participants — and give chat something to react to.
Rank every player. Surface every legend.
Whether it's K/D, MMR, lap times, or speedrun PBs — show your community who's on top. Custom score units, time-based ranking, and live updates the moment a match ends.
- Number, time, or custom-unit scoring
- Ascending or descending rank (lowest time wins)
- Player avatars, badges, and clan tags
- Season-based with auto-reset
Squads, clans, guilds — rank them together.
Group players by clan or guild and let the teams climb collectively. Sum kills, stack wins, aggregate XP. Run rival-clan wars or a season-long meta-leaderboard across every member.
- Aggregate scores by team, clan or guild
- Members count, total wins, average rank
- Cross-game leaderboards for multi-title clans
- Public bragging-rights page per clan
Run a tournament without spreadsheets, ever.
Online cup, LAN event, charity stream tournament — the live board shows standings as matches resolve. Prize pools, team counts, sponsors. The whole community watches the same page.
- Track prize pool, team count and round progress
- Full-screen mode for venue and stream displays
- Stacked boards for players + clans + tournaments
- Permanent results page after the event ends
Whatever your community plays — there's a ladder for it.
From FPS K/D races to MMO guild ladders to Twitch viewer challenges, BoardQ is the scoreboard layer that sits on top of whatever game you're running.
Esports Tournaments
Track standings round-by-round across an online or LAN cup. Display on the main stage screen and stream overlay.
Twitch Viewer Challenges
Sub-only score races, prediction ladders, "beat the streamer" boards. Pull stats from your bot, push to BoardQ.
Clan & Guild Wars
Aggregate scores across members. Run season-long clan rivalries with auto-rollover and historical archives.
Speedrun Boards
Time-based ranking with millisecond precision. Verifiable links per submission. Perfect for community PB chases.
Discord Communities
Tie a Discord bot to the API. Auto-award points for activity, wins, events — and project the standings into the server.
Game Server Ladders
Minecraft, Rust, FiveM, ARK — any game server can webhook kills, points or events into a live community board.
Indie Game Leaderboards
Skip building a backend. Drop a few API calls into your game and ship a global high-score table the same day.
LAN & Board Game Nights
One screen, one board, everyone's name on it. Works just as well for Smash brackets as for Catan game nights.
Hook it up to your game in three lines.
Don't build a backend just for high scores. Don't wire a database. Send one HTTP POST when a match ends — from your game, your mod, your Discord bot, your stream-deck button — and the board updates everywhere.
- Minecraft / FiveM / Rust — plugins and server hooks
- Unity / Unreal / Godot — drop-in HTTP request on game end
- Discord bots — discord.js, discord.py, Probot
- Stream tools — OBS, Streamlabs, Twitch EventSub
// Fire on match end — players will see it instantly

Scores propagate over WebSocket. Sub-second latency from API call to on-screen rank change.

Push from any game, mod, server or bot. Pull standings back into Discord embeds and tournament pages.
🛡️ Anti-cheat friendly
API key auth, IP allowlisting, and per-score verification links keep submissions clean and contestable.
🎨 Custom branding
Upload your community logo and palette. Make the board feel like your tournament, your stream, your clan.
🔒 Private boards
Password-protect for paid-tier streams, internal scrims, or invite-only ladders.
📱 Plays on every screen
Stream overlay, venue display, mobile check-ins — same board, every device.
Just need a clean high-score table?
Not every community needs avatars, badges and tournament metadata. Sometimes you just want rank, name, score, done. We have a template for that too.
Pick a template →“Stuck this on our community Discord as a season ladder. Daily active doubled in two weeks — people log in just to check if they got bumped down.”
Common questions.
Can I use this as a Twitch / OBS overlay?
Yes — add the leaderboard URL as a browser source in OBS or Streamlabs. It auto-refreshes over WebSocket, so chat sees live standings. The dark theme is tuned for clean stream overlay.
Does it work with my game?
If your game (or its server, mod, or bot) can send an HTTP request, yes. We've seen it used with Minecraft plugins, FiveM scripts, Unity builds, Unreal projects, and Discord bots wrapping pretty much everything else.
Can I track clans and guilds, not just players?
Yes. Group participants by clan or guild and aggregate scores across members. You can stack a player board and a clan board on the same page.
Is it free for streamers?
Yes. Free plan = 2 leaderboards, unlimited participants, real-time updates, API access. Premium ($6.99/month) unlocks unlimited boards, custom branding and private password protection.
Can I run a speedrun board?
Yes. Use time-based scoring with millisecond precision and ascending sort. Attach a verification link to each submission for community moderation.
Can I host a tournament with it?
Absolutely. Live standings across rounds, prize-pool display, team counts, and a permanent results page when the event ends. Works for online cups and LAN venues alike.
Your season starts the moment you press start.
Free to start. Unlimited players. No credit card. Upgrade only when you need more boards or custom branding.
