Is there a direct access to the "leagues" page via the mobile app? And where to find the link starting from the standard home/profile page?

Oh, wow, nice! I was hoping for some badges or achievements, but monetary prizes are much more motivating!

If you can never fall back down, won't everyone be in the top 2 or 3 categories eventually?

 

There's enough new members all the time, members leaving, and getting closed, that I image that won't actually happen. The Legend league will take a long time to get a significant number of members.
