Leaderboard Question- running contests

Hey there. I'm running a contest to drive users to my game and am offering free concert tickets to the top 5 high scores in the game (given a specific time and date for high score completion). What is the easiest way to identify which game players are new vs. which have been playing for a while?

Also, I currently have 30 levels within the game, and I see 30 individual leaderboards. Is there a way to identify the highest scoring players overall? or am I restricted to level by level?

The player details (from the Game Manager or the account info query API calls) return the creation date of the account, in addition to the first and last login time for the specific Title ID.

If you need to have a single listing of overall scores across all levels, yes, you would need a distinct leaderboard for that. Otherwise, you would need to integrate the scores using your own logic.
