🏆 Want to play relaxed without thinking about the Leaderboard? Now you decide

With Premium, valid matches can count for the global Leaderboard. Until now, though, every time you joined a room the question “Do you want this match to count for the leaderboard?” appeared, with a choice between “Normal” and “With leaderboard”. Handy the first time, less so the tenth.

Three choices, once and for all

In the Account panel, in the Premium box, there’s the new “🏆 Games valid for the global Leaderboard” option with three buttons:

• Always: every valid match counts for the Leaderboard, no questions asked. This is the default.
• Ask every time: for every valid match we ask whether it should count, as before.
• Never: your matches don’t count for the Leaderboard, so you can play relaxed.

Your choice is saved to your account, so it applies on every device you sign in with.

What about the other players?

The preference only applies to you. The other players in the same match are still free to choose for themselves: if you picked “Never” and a friend picked “Always”, the match will count for them but not for you. The rules that make a match valid for the Leaderboard stay the same too.

A practical tip

If you mostly play to climb the rankings, leave “Always” on and forget about it. If you switch between competitive evenings and matches to try out new rules, pick “Ask every time”. And if one evening you just want to have fun without looking at the numbers, switch to “Never”: you can change your mind whenever you like from the Account panel.
