Help with basic webscraping
#3
Now I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but here's working code

Your first error came when you are calling soup you call it from var soup not last var you called soup.

You did:
tbody=leaderboard.find('tbody')
You need:
tbody = soup.find('tbody')
And you will get second error list index out of range unless you change [1] and [1] to [0] and [0] like in code below.
And please use spaces between = and ,
Hope it helps.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
data=requests.get('https://umggaming.com/leaderboards')
soup=BeautifulSoup(data.text, 'html.parser')
 
leaderboard = soup.find('div', { 'id': 'leaderboard-table' })
 
tbody = soup.find('tbody')
 
for tr in soup.find_all('tr'):
    place=tr.find_all('td')[0].text.strip()
    username=tr.find_all('td')[0].find_all('a')[0].text.strip()
    xp=tr.find_all('td')[0].text.strip()
    print(place, username, xp)
I'm assuming by having [1] in your code you are trying to identify second element of <td> ? If so it won't work with [] I use re findall
