OMG YES
I love those filters that you could add to a map or a leaderboard. Our current leaderboard is as raw as it gets, just a list with the number of tags next to the users submitted name. What I am envisioning is something like that link above built in Tableau. But honestly, as the sole developer on the project for the last two years, after having spent the last 6 weeks hacking away on this and the 5,000 lines of supporting code that it runs on, I can only do so much.
The only thing holding us back from making a map is the fact that we don't have any GPS data saved in the images. I wrote some code to pull EXIF data out of the images before uploading to Imgur (which strips all EXIF data) and to save that into the images, but it had something wrong and I was getting incorrect coordinates so I shelved it. But once we have that data (and I'm sure people would be happy to backport their games with this data) we can start to show things like greatest distance between tags and quickest tag.
The game in Seattle has been going HAM for weeks now. Yesterday they had 4 tags and they have been averaging like 2 tags a day for a long time. They actively snipe each other as well, and people will be attempting to upload their new tag and see that they've already been sniped. It's awesome and they are really great sports about it, which I enjoy. I enjoy the BikeTag community and most of it's members who are just about getting out there on your bike and enjoying it.

I don't know what you have planned for your leaderboard but when I day dreamed about doing something similar to what you are doing I was thinking of things like greatest distance between tags, quickest tag etc.
