Please help me understand-what is the leaderboard?

They show the people with the highest points, in descending order.  No, not everyone is on it, only those who are way up there in points, :-).

Level 2 is Answers Swag. When you reach that level, you can find it on the right side of your Q&A page.\n\nWhen you reach levels 2-5, you get fewer limits on your participation in the site. After you reach level 5, there is no difference.\n\nWhat the "Be the first to find out!" means is that they haven't given anyone anything for those levels yet. So, if you get there by the time they have the rewards system completely set up, you will be among the first to find out.\n\nI'm sorry if this is a bit disappointing, but that's what the "beta" under the Yahoo! Answers logo means - it's still missing a lot of things, but at least it gives you time to catch up.\n\nBy the way, there's a Yahoo! Answers category under Yahoo! Products designed especially for questions like this.

Because you are only on level one and have used up your limit for today.   Try rating and voting for some answers to boost your points score.  If you click on the number of points that you have it will tell you all about point scoring and the levels.

They are separate and distinct polls.  Each poll gives points out for what the voters rank you -- 25 points for 1st, 24 for 2nd, all the way down to 1 point for a 25th place vote.  They then tally all the points and rank the teams in the country from 1 to 25 and also show you who received some votes, but did not finish in the top 25.

I am using a technology for using spreadsheets on the web.\n\nIt's like you keep your stats on the web and everybody can see them or if you let them they can modify the data.\n\nI asume you are going to type them yourself and you want to share the info with the rest of the players.\n\nOr perhaps, every player types his stats.\n\nDrop me a line. I have exactly what you need.\n\nI use this for my company.

If you are in a Rotisserie  league, points are scored by how you rank in the designated statistical categories. The stats for the Goalie are Wins, GAA, SV%, and Shutouts. Your league may have some or all of those stats included in scoring. Check your league settings. \n\nFor example, if you are in a 15 team league and you lead the league in Wins, you get 15 points from the Wins category. If you're second in Shutouts, you get 14 points, etc. \n\nHope this helps.

They get your name somewhere on the leaderboard. The more points, the higher up your name will be.  That's it!\nThe points are pretty much pointless. Most people are here for entertainment, not for the points.\nJust have fun with it! ;0)

Just click above, where it says Points.  It is all explained there.\n\nBut, the real truth, is nothing.  As far as I can tell so far, they are just there so that competitive people can accumulate them.

Psychologists will tell you that people perform for rewards, even if the rewards have no intrinsic value.  Yahoo! knows this, so it gives out points.  What are the rewards?  If you get to a higher level you can spend even more time using the site!  Brilliant if you ask me...

I found this...\n\nRankings in each group shall be determined as follows:\n(a) Greater number of points in group\n(b) Goal differential in group\n(c) Goals scored in group\n\nIn case of a tie:\n(d) Head-to-head\n(e) Head-to-head goal differential\n(f) Goals scored head-to-head\n(g) Drawn lots\n\nThe top two teams advance to the Round of 16.\n\n\nIt doesnt make much sense to me but i hope it does to you :)

It depends on how the league is set up.  In my Yahoo leagues it is set by record.  The first tie breaker is total season points.  I havent had to go past this point yet but i would imagine that it would be head-to-head record.
