# 2.7 Leaderboards

**Trendex uses two independent leaderboards every tournament.**\
\
Each leaderboard rewards a different type of skill, and each one pays out SOL from the tournament reward pool.

***

#### Total Points Leaderboard (80% of the pool)

This leaderboard ranks players based on allocation × skill.

The more activated tokens you have on players who perform well → the higher you rank.

This is where allocation × skill is rewarded.

***

#### SquadScore Leaderboard (20% of the pool)

This leaderboard ranks players based on selection quality, independent of how many tokens they activated.

To be eligible, you need at least 4 different activated players.

This is where pure football IQ can beat larger wallets.

***

#### Why 2 Leaderboards?

We separate both dimensions into different ladders, so both styles can win:

| Style                 | Leaderboard  |
| --------------------- | ------------ |
| allocation × skill    | Total Points |
| pure scouting quality | SquadScore   |

Trendex rewards both types of players:<br>

* players who take larger positions
* players who have the best skills<br>

***

#### Payout Timing

Payouts happen after the tournament ends, once PlayerScores are final.<br>

**SOL rewards are sent directly on-chain.**

**SP are credited directly to your Trendex account.**
