Description

Hi,

I'm a blind user, and I can't access leaderboard.lmsys.org with a screen reader.
I tried accessing the website with many screen readers including Jaws, NVDA, Narrator on Windows, and VoiceOver on Mac.
All of them see only one row, and some of them have browser freezing issues.
Alternative solution might be to publish the raw ranking data in json/csv format.
I know you guys published raw data for battles, but maybe just publishing the ranking with benchmark scores would be great.
If publishing the data synchronized with the website in real time is not possible, could you consider maybe at least publishing once a day? That would be helpful.
Thanks so much!

Start by inspecting leaderboard.lmsys.org with a screen reader and compare its behavior across the readers named in the report. Review how the existing raw battle data is published; done means either an accessible leaderboard or a documented JSON/CSV ranking alternative with an agreed update cadence.
