I kind of created those

("RooPI") - at least the first version that he used on the site. It was created as a bit of a copycat of the ASA Rankings of the time, or so I figured - points earned for level of finish in tournaments based on number of players in the tournament, with bigger tournaments being designated as "majors" and being worth more points. That way someone who bounced in the quarterfinals of a 32-coach tourney probably would get similar points to someone who made the final of an 8-coach tourney, given that they would have had to win the same number of elimination games to get to those stages of the respective tournaments. I think there may have even then been an intended component for points for tourney finish based on strength of schedule, but I don't remember.
I don't totally know how they are figured up now. For ASA, I think we dispatched of the "major" designation a year or so ago.
