The Leaderboards are dead! Long Live The Leaderboards!
As of this update Steam is no longer responsible for the Waves² Leaderboards as the game is now using Gamesparks to manage all of it's online functionality.
This means no more score limit of 2,147,483,647 as the scores are now stored as 64bit integers. If you get a score that maxes out one of those then you must be cheating.
Every combination of Game Mode and Arena Type now has it's own Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Season based leaderboards and you are awarded points every day, week and month which increase your Rank for that mode.
Seasons are an arbitrary length often determined by major balance updates. The current season is "Early Access".

All points are awarded at Midnight UTC.
