Many Local Guides share their points achievements in individual posts on Connect’s Connections & celebrations category. However, hundreds of Local Guides do this collectively on the Points Leaderboards post. Why? Because here you get much more than the opportunity to brag about your points achievements:
You get a much better and easier comparative analysis of your points achievements with your peers, that is, Local Guides at your own Local Guide level;
You can gain a way to better monitor and chart the progress of your contributions over time;
You have access to a deeper analysis of your points achievements;
You can quickly gain an as-you-go health check that can highlight issues with your contributions;
As well as the inherent competitive and fun element to the Leaderboards, there’s more here than meets the eye! You see, the Leaderboards are more than just about rankings of Local Guides! To learn more see this post.
The good news is, you don’t have to be a “top gun” Level 10 Local Guide with millions of points to participate! There are leaderboards for each Local Guide level so anyone can join in and it’s simple to do! If you want to get on the boards hit this link or leave a comment in this post and someone will jump in to help you.
If you’re new here then you may not be aware that this post forms part of a series of leaderboard posts each covering different aspects of the contributions of Local Guides. To see an index to these leaderboard posts and all posts associated with them, hit this link.
Readme - How to read the Points leaderboards (November, 2024)
Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation and the Leaderboard System’s online context-sensitive help information.
The leaderboards in this post present details about the Local Guide points of hundreds of participating Local Guides from all over the world. As well as an overall leaderboard ranking the top 100 Local Guides by points, you will see leaderboards for different Local Guide levels which provide you with direct comparisons of your >points achievements >with that of your peers.

Where shown, ( ) around leaderboard sequence numbers indicate that this Local Guide levelled up/down on this leaderboard.
An asterisk (*) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Connect Moderator.
Double asterisks (**) shown after a Connect Username indicates that that Local Guide is a Googler.
A superscript following a Local Guide’s username indicates that some of that Local Guide’s data has been set to private. The Leaderboards System uses 8 different superscripts to indicate the varying states of a Local Guide’s profile. On the Points Leaderboards a superscript shown as [2] indicates that while the Local Guide is included on the points leaderboards, because their Maps profile is hidden, they will not be included on the Photo Views leaderboards!
Local Guides suspended or who have left the Local Guides program are excluded from the Points Leaderboards.
Hovering over a Local Guide’s username will display the integration number that integrates that Local Guide’s details on the Leaderboards System and Connect; the umbilical chord if you will between the two disparate systems.

I’m sure you’ll agree that anyone with a MILLION points needs to be specially highlighted on these leaderboards and this is what the Million Points Club is all about. The leaderboard shown below lists the participating Local Guides with an incredible MILLION+ points on Google Maps. Hard to believe but there you are, it is possible and we all can one day achieve this and there’s plenty of room in this club for each and everyone of us
As you can well see, formatting is still something I’m having to deal with but I decided to start posting the November Leaderboards before time gets away as it did for the October Leaderboards.
Aside of the formatting issues, some of the data just doesn’t look right (e.g. I see some missing names and some odd values) and I think this is where you can jump in to check and advise.
There’s some jockeying of positions at the top-end of town in the Million Points Club but still it’s the same Local Guides with @Bartek_Maryniak a fair way from the crowd there.
Adam, there seems to be an error with the last four Gs listed at Level 10. The points in your table for @WebVisite@ajassimanwar@PaulAtherton@syaubananas are too low to be among those you describe as “knocking on the door”.
EDIT:
This issue seems to be affecting all other levels as well, except Level 8.
Well done @SayliWalve. Indeed you are on a mission to the top. Are you aware of how even though you increase your points you can pop-off the top of a leaderboard and disappear altogether for a while before appearing on the next higher leaderboard?
Thanks Anthony, there seems to be some data problem in the boards and I alluded to this in my comment here. Too tired and it’s too late here for me to sort this out at the moment. With more clues as to what’s happened from those checking, we should be able to sort this out.
