Many Local Guides share their points achievements in individual posts here on Connect’s Achievements board, a board specifically set up to brag about this and other achievements. However, as many Local Guides have found, there are advantages to participating in and sharing your Maps contribution achievements collectively in the Top 100 Local Guides Points Leaderboards post.
No different to the Achievements board, you get the opportunity to brag about your points achievements and there’s the inherent competitive and fun element to this, but there’s more here than meets the eye! You see, the leaderboards are more than just about rankings of Local Guides! Here are just some of the benefits of participating and to learn more then see this article:
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, and
You can quickly gain an as-you-go health check that can highlight issues with your contributions.
And, 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 yes, you can too and it’s simple to do, just hit this link to register or if you want to know more then see this How-to post by @AZ_2021.
Briefly, this is what you need to know about the leaderboards in this post. For more details see the leaderboard documentation:
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.

Hopingthat you will enjoy the fun and friendly competitive side of these leaderboards while at the same time learning how to improve the quality of your contributions and the reach and impact that they have on your community.
Levelling up
Congratulations also to the following 3 leaderboard jumpers. @Josevieitez and @Kumaarsantosh jumped from the Level 8 to Level 9 leaderboard and @2401 jumped from the Level 6 to level 7 leaderboard
All new participants and those levelling up impact on the makeup of the points leaderboards and the position of many Local Guides on them. You can learn more about the different ways that new participants and leaderboard jumpers can impact on your position on the leaderboards in the documentation here. Were you impacted?
I’m enjoying the energy and the feel good vibes coming from the leaderboards and the fellow connect guides.
The last few month’s I have been focusing on getting out doors and work on the visuals
But the boards also help hugely for me to then look at what other areas of my contribution I can learn from or improve.
I found that i have moved up 2 places in the level 10 and all local guides for points for this month… and now excited to see how far i can go up in the points area each month on the movers and shakers board.
Thank you for your great vision in supporting and assisting our participation in this wonderful programme.

I’m really pleased to hear that @DshottDennis because as you know, as well as the fun and friendly competitive side of the Top 100 leaderboards, one of the stated objectives of them is to foster greater engagement, discussion and sharing among Local Guides having a common interest in making quality contributions on Maps and achieving better outcomes in terms of points, views and impact on our communities. Thank you Dennis for joining in and contributing to making this happen.

It’s great to hear this Dennis and I am envious LOL. I’ve got to start getting out there myself, pounding the pavement and clicking more. If I only had time!

Yes the Movers & Shakers and some of the new metrics introduced will certainly pump things up.
Thank you for your great vision in supporting and assisting our participation in this wonderful programme.
Thank you Dennis for your appreciation and being a great participant!
It’s great to see you making some moves up the boards now @JustJake and by the way, Dexter says that your idea has been in the planning works for some time now
