# Leaderboards

The Leaderboards feature in LootLocker allows you to rank player scores or other data points, making it versatile for tracking everything from player achievements to user-generated content, teams, and more. Metadata can be stored alongside each score, giving your game the flexibility to include contextual information that enhances the ranking experience.

### Leaderboard Types

Leaderboards operate in two main modes:

* **Player Type**: Each score is directly tied to a player, enabling traditional player rankings.
* **Generic Type**: Scores can be linked to custom keys defined by the game, allowing you to rank items beyond individual players, such as UGC, teams, or any other entities you choose.

### Leaderboard Resets & Rewards

For Player Type Leaderboards, it’s possible to schedule periodic resets, rewarding players who place on the leaderboard within a given timeframe.

### Use Cases

* Rank Players
* Rank User Generated Content Popularity
* Keep a list of banned Players
