STATUS: Active LEVEL: National

Status Active with an asterisk means that the number of entities who joined the leaderboard has not yet reached the minimum threshold. This means that the leaderboard is active and entities can receive votes, but the winners will be awarded only if the minimum threshold is reached (min 20 entities).
