πŸ† How do layout leaderboards work?

Learn how layout leaderboards are populated, what rounds qualify, and how they differ from round ratings and difficulty classifications.

Audience: All users | Level: Beginner | Requires: UDisc Pro

⚑ Quick Answer

Layout leaderboards are active from the moment a layout is created β€” no minimum play count or difficulty classification is required. Any qualifying round played by a UDisc Pro member will appear on the leaderboard immediately, showing each player's single best score.


πŸ“‹ What is a Layout Leaderboard?

Every layout on UDisc has its own leaderboard that displays the best score each player has recorded on that layout. You can find it by:

  1. πŸ“ Opening the Course Directory and navigating to the course

  2. πŸ—‚οΈ Selecting the layout you want to view

  3. πŸ† Tapping the Leaderboard button on that layout

πŸ—“οΈ Filtering by time period

You can filter the leaderboard to see scores from a specific window:

  • Day β€” scores from today

  • Week β€” scores from the past 7 days

  • 30 days –– scores from the past 30 days

  • Year –– the past calendar year (e.g., 2026)

  • All β€” all-time best scores

πŸ‘₯ Filtering by cardmates

You can also toggle between Everyone and Cardmates to narrow the leaderboard to just players you've played with.

πŸ₯‡ Best score only

Each player appears once on the leaderboard β€” their single best score for that layout. If a player shoots a -5 one day and then a -7 another day, only the -7 will be shown. If you don't see your score, reference: πŸ† Why can't I find my score on the leaderboard?


βœ… What Rounds Qualify?

For a round to appear on a layout leaderboard, it must:

  • ⭐ Be played by a UDisc Pro member (free account holders are not shown on leaderboards)

  • 🎯 Be scored on that specific layout using UDisc

  • πŸ‘€ Be played under a UDisc account (guest profiles do not count)

  • πŸ“Š Be included in the player's stats history (rounds excluded from stats will not appear)


❓ Common Questions

πŸ† Does a layout need a difficulty classification to have a leaderboard?

No. Leaderboards are completely independent of difficulty classifications. A brand-new layout will still have an active leaderboard β€” it just won't have any entries until qualifying rounds are played. Difficulty classifications are only required for round ratings, not leaderboards.

πŸ”’ Does a layout need a minimum number of plays to activate its leaderboard?

No. There is no play count threshold for leaderboards. The very first qualifying round played on a layout will appear on its leaderboard.

πŸ‘€ Do guest players show up on the leaderboard?

No. Only rounds played by UDisc Pro members under their own account appear on leaderboards. If a player was scored as a guest on someone else's device, their score won't count.

πŸ“Š Why is my round not showing on the leaderboard?

Check the following:

  • ⭐ Confirm you have an active UDisc Pro subscription

  • βš™οΈ Make sure the round is included in your stats history β€” open the scorecard, tap the settings icon, and confirm "Include in my stats history" is turned on

  • πŸ‘€ Confirm you were scored under your UDisc account, not as a guest

  • πŸ—‚οΈ Verify the round was scored on the correct layout
