How do the 8WR Rankings work?

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Just a broad general question, I suppose. Like, I see Linkorz is ranked #1 w/ a Score of 1495, but the winner of Senpai's Weekly gets 1500 pts. So Score =/= Points, I can infer. How is score determined? How can we report events? What weeklies, monthlies, etc are worth reporting in order to get points (my local monthly gets 20-30ish ppl for SC6, including ppl from the Bay Area and Reno, so it's fairly worth considering)?

Thanks!
