If I'm going to post the numbers, there will be people who want to know where they come from. It's basically the IAAF World Athletics Tour points, but with some extras.
Major national and international championships/games/cups are also scored, as well as major indoor, road, and cross country invitationals. Basically, every meaningful competition can score points.
Athletes can score up to ten bonus points for performances. For example, in the women's 800 meters, 1:55.22 scores 10 points while 1:59.20 scores 1 point. (Adjustments are made for indoor races.) Wind and altitude corrections are made for sprints, hurdles, and horizontal jumps.
Athlete's eight best meets are scored. Up to two of those meets can be in other events. For example, if Jeremy Wariner had a race or two at 200m that scored more points than his 7th- or 8th-best races at 400m, those would score points for him in the 400m rankings. (Indoor sprints & hurdles are considered different events than their outdoor counterparts.)
