internsHack = 'https://doselect.com/hackathon/inmobi-internshack/leaderboard'

page = requests.get(internsHack)
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)

users = tree.xpath('//div[@class="md-list-item-text"]/h2/a/text()')

HTML source snippet:

<div class="points-score">
  <ng-pluralize count="200"
                           when="{'0': '{} point',
                               'one': '{} point',
                               'other': '{} points'}">
</div>

Get the count attribute values instead of text():

//div[@class="points-score"]/ng-pluralize/@count

score variable would then have the following value:

['200', '198', '198', '197', '197', '197', '196', '195', '194', '194']
