Put another leaderboard in game that shows the top points, regardless of level, and the type of character and level they are currently. This leaderboard would not be for prizes but would help those on top of the current leaderboards know if they might get bumped down if a lower level character has higher points and then levels up to 35+. How frustrating would it be if on the last day, after putting in countless hours of event map running, you're looking at yourself in top 10 and getting excited that you might get to own a shiny new Shady & Surge egg, and then in the last few hours, someone levels their twink up and bumps you out of contention for this prize. None of my characters are going for top 10 but if I spent all this time to get to top 10 and then suddenly get bumped down out of nowhere, I would probably rage quit. Some friends of mine have already given up because of this.
