First you take your current personal records from your WCA profile.
Then you compare these records against the world records for each year. You keep going back a year until that record is sufficient enough to be the world record at the end of that year. Finally, you subtract 2000 from that year to get your "score".

If your record isn't good enough to break any world records for any year of this millenium, you get 0 :P
I've omitted Skewb because your score is probably 0 except for two guys.

e.g. for Daniel Sheppard: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2009SHEP01

This isnt very clear. When you say to go to the year sufficient enough, would it be the record at the end or beginning of the year that you have to check? Because in the example it seems to be a mix o.O

End of the year, sorry. Thanks for bringing that up.

Also it seems that this measure does seem like a good indicator about a competitors best events, don't you think? :)
 
3x3: 4 5
2x2: 4 4
4x4: 2 2 (that's just sad)
5x5: 1 0 (that's even more sad)
6x6: 0 0 (D: )
7x7: 0 0
OH : 4 4
BLD: 1
Mega: 2
Pyra: 3 4
SQ1: 0 0
Clock: 1 0

And that's 41.
