How do people get placed on the leaderboard that I see?

Question

I see a leaderboard almost every time I accomplish a level. Are those other 8 people my Facebook friends? Or are they a random group of people who played that level the same day I did? Probably a silly question. But I'm obviously clueless. Thanks.

Noone ever answered. I thought King might send an explanation. Sometimes the LeaderBoard gets as large as 10 people. Just wondering if they are people who played the level that day, that week. No biggee. But interested.

Did you ever figure this out? Who are those 8 people?

I see a leaderboard after winning almost every level. But I'm wondering who are these other 8 people? Are they people from my Facebook friends? Are they random people playing the same level that day? Probably a silly question. But thank you.
