By default, completed matches are tracked by the :globe\_with\_meridians: Global Leaderboard. Think of this as your "main" leaderboard. When you create a [**new** queue](/docs/quick-start/create-more-queues.md), by default, games played in that queue count towards the :globe\_with\_meridians:Global Leaderboard. Continue reading to learn how to create a new queue with its unique leaderboard.

You can recognise global leaderboard queues by the footer message.

### The quick way: use the Manage Queue button The fastest way to give a queue its own leaderboard is directly from the queue message itself - no command needed. 1. First you must follow the instructions from [Create More Queues](/docs/quick-start/create-more-queues.md) if you haven't already. You should have at least **2** queues at this point. 2. Click the **⚙️ Manage Queue** button on the queue you want to give its own leaderboard. This button sits next to Leave Queue, and only works for admins (or anyone granted `manage_channels`/the relevant permission).

The Manage Queue button on the queue message.

3. Click **Make Leaderboard Unique** in the panel that opens.

That's it - a leaderboard channel is created for this queue automatically. {% hint style="info" %} Prefer using a command instead? Keep reading below for the `/queue set_unique_leaderboard` walkthrough. {% endhint %} *** ### Creating a unique leaderboard 1. First you must follow the instructions from [Create More Queues](/docs/quick-start/create-more-queues.md) if you haven't already. You should have at least **2** queues at this point. Both should say :globe\_with\_meridians: Global Leaderboard in the footer. 2. Activate a unique leaderboard by running `/queue set_unique_leaderboard` and selecting one of the queues you created earlier. For this example, we will pick #highelo-queue.

You can also select the command hyperlink after a [Basic Setup](/docs/quick-start.md)

I have created 2 queues. One for low elo, and one for high elo

3. Hit Enter. A leaderboard channel will now be created for #highelo-queue.

4. Games played in #highelo-queue will update the #highelo-queue-top10 leaderboard.

5. Games in the #lowelo-queue will update the #top-10 leaderboard. This is the default leaderboard.

### All done. This queue is now entirely independent. This is useful for separating a high-skill queue from a lower-skill queue — or for a separate casual queue during your [InHouseQueue Seasons](/docs/features/inhousequeue-seasons.md). You can use Discord channel permissions to make queues visible only to players with a specific role. *** #### Commands that need the queue channel parameter Certain commands, such as `/leaderboard` and `/rank` have an optional parameter for selecting the queue channel. Once selected, you'll see the leaderboard or rank for the selected queue.

If you don't enter a `queue_channel`, it will default to Global Leaderboard

{% hint style="info" %} As of writing our Website leaderboard [https://inhousequeue.xyz/leaderboard/](https://inhousequeue.xyz/leaderboard/1112808150966485126)\ will only show scores from the Global Leaderboard. {% endhint %} {% hint style="danger" %} Don't delete your unique leaderboard unless you're sure you no longer need it. You will lose all stats recorded in that queue. The Global Leaderboard is never affected. {% endhint %}
