How fair leaderboards work
2 minEveryone
You are ranked against athletes like you.
Quick version
You're ranked against athletes your age who play your position.
Why it matters
It isn't fair to compare a 10-year-old with a 17-year-old. Splitting boards by age and position means everyone has a real chance to be at the top.
How to do it
- 1
Age group
Boards are split by age.
- 2
Position
Linemen are compared with linemen.
- 3
Verified only
Only NILify Verified numbers count. Opt in to appear.
- 4
Names are masked
Younger athletes show a short name only.
For parents
Your athlete only appears if they opt in, and minors only with your approval. Younger athletes show a short name, never their full name.
