This wikis I assume is a democratic site, so you can post your proposed leaderboard appearance here, then we let the community vote for what they think is the more usable one. I don't understand though how was mine confusing for you. O_o Sorry, I said confusing when I meant that I just felt it wasn't detailed enough, like I said before.

What follows is my proposed Leaderboard. I am open to the notes being altered but I feel that this color scheme makes the most sense:

Thanks for considering it! Here are my comments for your proposed leaderboard:

I like your utilization of colors, which I think is very detailed, especially how you use them entirely on the box for each placement, rather than on the number itself. I agree that the yellow color should be dropped and instead the default color should be used for normal/unaffected placements.

Regarding penalties and time credits, I think there should be information on these, like how long a particular team's penalty took and the reason why they were penalized, which I believe you are currently working on. I also don't think it's necessary to have a second column for their departure placement.

For the legs with Fast Forwards that were not claimed, I would suggest that the leg numbers of those legs should be colored, instead of the "ff" superscript.

With regards to the way teams are listed on the leaderboard, I find it purposeful how you segregated each member into separate columns with their boxes being your assigned colors for their gender, although I don't think it's something necessary to put in a leaderboard. If ever we are using Ian's proposal, I think that's something suitable to add for the "Teams" section of Ian's season page proposal or in the team's article. I also don't think it's necessary to have a "Relationship" column as this is what makes it really similar to Wikipedia's leaderboard. Again, this is something that should be added to the "Teams" section, assuming that we are using Ian's proposal.

Overall, I think this is a good proposal for a part of our wiki's manual of style regarding season pages. Your leaderboard proposal is requisite enough. It may still look similar to Wikipedia's leaderboard, but with a number of tweaks, which I believe is already okay.
