Yes multiboards are quite smple to create.

I answered a question about multiboards here just today, so copy paste ftw!

Word Editor --> Trigger Editor --> Multiboard *Here are the actions*

You should remember that multiboards can't be created at map initialization, have it created after a few seconds or so.

To show you how a simple multiboard is created, i'll paste a trigger here soon:

• Create Multiboard -Example-
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and 14 rows, titled The Multiboard
    • Set TheMultiboard = (Last created multiboard)
    • Multiboard - Set the display style for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 0 to Show text and Hide icons
    • Multiboard - Set the width for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 0 to 4.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the width for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row 0 to 10.00% of the total screen width
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row 1 to Player
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 2, row 0 to 0
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 2, row 1 to Kills
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 3, row 0 to 0
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 3, row 1 to Deaths
    • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 0, row 2 to <Empty String>
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Player((Integer A))) slot status) Equal to Is playing
          • Then - Actions
            • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row (2 + (Integer A)) to (Name of (Player((Integer A))))
          • Else - Actions
            • Multiboard - Set the text for TheMultiboard item in column 1, row (2 + (Integer A)) to -Not Playing-
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Multiboard - Show TheMultiboard
    • Multiboard - Minimize TheMultiboard

Note: Using 0 as a row/column value affects all rows/columns

Hope it helped, you can take it from here i guess.

That multiboard will look like this:

You have to adapt the actions to make it look like your leaderboard, specially the fact that you have to put in the teams in it. Maybe you can simply have 4 loops, one for each team, to add in the playernames. A tip is to use loops as much as you can, to save space (in the trigger) and time.

Don't forget that you have to 'take care' of the multiboard, that is refreshing it. Every time a player gets a kill or something like that, you have to use the 'Multiboard - Set the text...' action and change the text to the new value.
