I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, your wins & losses affect your rewards from a single week-long tournament.
Your climb up the leaderboard, however, is unaffected by wins & losses. Instead it is affected by the 540 points you earned.
The leaderboard is used to place you in different "leagues". Your "league" allows you to collect better rewards at the end of a tournament.
The real question, then, is whether anyone will be keeping the 540 points (or whatever number of points they get from their number of defenses). I believe the answer to that is yet to be determined, though it seems like the most likely answer is "Nope".
