How the Canada leaderboard works

Canada has its own single leaderboard on pinit.lol, built from every currently active, paid placement there.

How does pinit.lol ranking work?

Ranking is based entirely on how much each placement staked, highest amount first. Every new placement must stake at least the required amount (the country's current top stake plus $1, or the $1 starting stake when the country has no active leader), so a new placement always enters at #1 the moment it is confirmed. Staking more than required is allowed and raises what the next challenger must pay. If two placements ever carry the exact same amount, the one confirmed earlier stays ranked above the newer one.

How long does a placement last?

Every placement lasts exactly 24 hours from the moment its payment is confirmed. A placement cannot be extended in place. Buying another one starts a brand new 24-hour placement, and can supersede an existing active placement by the same profile in the same country.

How do country leaderboards work?

Each country has exactly one leaderboard, built from every currently active, unexpired paid placement in that country, ordered by stake amount. The full leaderboard is publicly listed with pagination, not just a top 10, so every active placement stays discoverable.

What happens after 24 hours?

The moment a placement's 24 hours are up, it stops counting toward that country's ranking automatically, whether or not any background job has run. The leaderboard query itself excludes it. It disappears from the live board but is never deleted: it stays visible in that country's history, permanently, alongside every placement that ever ran there.

How is #1 decided?

#1 is whichever active, unexpired placement currently has the highest stake in its country. A new placement always takes #1 the moment it is confirmed, because the required stake is the current top stake plus $1, or the $1 starting stake in a country with no active leader, and it keeps #1 only until someone else pays the then-required stake. On a tie, the earlier-confirmed placement stays #1.
