A question has been asked about the 'speed bonus' scoring. So let me
clarify....

Only the fastest entry from each person can get a speed bonus.

Thus for example, if you have two entries, and the second is slower
than the first, it will not get a speed bonus. The first entry may
get one (if its in the top 20 fastest-for-each-person) but even then
it might not score as highly as the second entry due to other things.
This would mean that your second entry appears on the leader board
without a speed bonus, even though another person's entry on the leader
board has a slower time and a bonus.

To improve your position, you must improve both your speed and your
correctness.

So to summarize, the leader board shows your best scoring entry, not
necessarily your fastest entry.
