Sorry but I would ask you to stop telling that I spread misinformation. I don't know if it was some change, but when you read here (I think it is official announcement of splinterlands isn't it?):

than you see that it was at least in this way before, maybe now they changed it.

But if you asked me to don't spread misinformation I would like to ask you to do the same and don't speak about leaderboard-prices from a negligible amount of DEC, as they are more than 7.2 million DEC every season (even not calculating when player share a place and the higher amount is payed out to all players) - this is really not negligible if I see the aim of your proposal.
