Apparently it was much more involved than any of us understood. Sometimes we here at RF make things seem much easier than the are in reality.

When they took drivers that gained spots in the Gained/Lost column and used a minus instead of a plus, I don't know how much simpler it could be.
They used to have a point system that was simple enough that a person could read what was published and figure it out in their head. That is impossible now...you have to take their word for it.
These are the same people who put minuses instead of plusses and plusses instead of minuses when scoring a simple move up or down in the driver standings.

As someone who was a computer programmer for several years, no, this one is not that difficult. It's a matter of properly formatting the output AND checking the output to make sure it shows what you wanted.

Hey, that's a dated term, "computer programmer." My profession in the 80s when COBOL was king on Burroughs and IBM mainframes. Honestly I really really enjoyed programming and wished it could have continued throughout my career.
