+# Open Web Leaderboard
+The Open Web Leaderboard is a leaderboard that can easily be used with any backend as long as you find a way to supply the following information:
+    
+- getRankRange(start, end) -> return a list of players from start rank to end rank
+- getMaxEntries() -> return the total number of entries in the leaderboard
+- findPlayer() -> find a player by name
+
+The system was developed to be used with the [skillbird-framwork](https://github.com/FAUSheppy/skillbird). If you use this framework, the program should be working without any arguments. If you need more conductibility feel free to open a pull-request or send me a message.
