Leaderboard challenge scoring algorithm

Is leaderboard challenge scoring algorithm different from heads-up challenge..
Many are scoring 550+ in leaderboard challenge but in heads-up challenge only 300+

Also, sometimes my response time is faster than opponent in leaderboard challenge n still points difference of around 150 in leaderboard challenge which is confusing.

Am I missing something?

Walaykom salam, this only happens at the top level of competition, we’ll try something different soon iA

Even though score should not be so much less for the person with higher response time


With faster response time n all correct answer still I got 70 points less

Maybe glitch or ayah difficulty level. Points are different depending on difficulty

But ayah difficulty and response time create score… sometimes my response time is 1.8 s n opponent is at 2.3s..still he get more points than me…

With 1.8s i would have answer many more as compared to one with 2.3s, still my point was less

Assalamu alaikum Syed,

Thank you for your incredibly detailed and persistent reporting on the leaderboard scoring issue, and for providing such clear evidence with screenshots over the past few weeks.

You are absolutely right – there is a bug in our scoring algorithm that is not correctly rewarding faster reaction times. This is a known, high-priority issue that our development team is actively working to resolve. Your detailed examples have been added to our internal investigation and are very helpful.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and unfairness this is causing in the leaderboards. We are working to get this fixed as soon as possible.

JazakAllah khair for your patience and for helping us track down this bug.
