How Leaderboard and Record Work on Unrated Demons List (UDL)

Unrated Demons List (UDL) is a community-run site for tracking player performance on unrated Geometry Dash demons. Its Leaderboard and Record features serve two connected purposes: the Leaderboard ranks players based on the records they submit, and the Record system is how those completions get entered and verified. In short, you submit a record, and that record feeds into the leaderboard. The exact scoring weights, verification rules, and ranking formulas are set by the UDL team and can change between list versions (the site currently shows UDL v8.0.0), so treat any specific point value as version-dependent rather than fixed.

What the Leaderboard shows

The Leaderboard is the public ranking view. Based on the site's own navigation, it sits alongside the List, Roulette, Submit, and Record sections, which tells you it's a read-only summary rather than an input form.

What you can generally expect from it:

• Player rankings — players ordered by their accumulated standing on the list.
• Points or placement — the position each player holds, derived from the records tied to their account.
• A snapshot, not a live feed — rankings reflect whatever records have been accepted at that point, so they update as submissions are processed rather than instantly.

The key thing to understand: the Leaderboard doesn't create data. It only displays the result of records that were submitted and accepted elsewhere on the site.

What the Record feature does

The Record section is where completions live as individual entries. If the Leaderboard is the scoreboard, Record is the logbook.

• Submit is the action page where a player enters a completion.
• Record is where those completions are stored and can be reviewed.
• Each record ties a player to a specific demon completion, which is what eventually counts toward their leaderboard position.

So the flow is: Submit → Record → Leaderboard. A completion only affects your ranking after it exists as an accepted record.

How the two connect

This means a player's leaderboard standing is a direct consequence of their record history. If a record is rejected, corrected, or reweighted in a new list version, the leaderboard reflects that change.

Practical things to keep in mind

• Version matters. The site displays UDL v8.0.0. Point values and list contents are tied to the version, so a record's weight can shift when the list updates.
• Check the current rules before submitting. Because UDL is community-maintained, submission and verification requirements are defined by the site itself, not by this article. Use the Submit page for the authoritative process.
• Your progress is trackable. Once records are accepted, you can follow your own standing through the Leaderboard without keeping separate notes.

If your goal is simply to understand the mechanism: records are the raw input, the leaderboard is the computed output, and the list version determines how the math works. For the exact submission criteria and current scoring, go directly to the UDL site's Submit and Record pages.
