Here are the rules for determining the overall point scores for the Weekly Competitions here on Speedsolving.com, as given to me by Mats Bergsten, who does the weekly scoring:
(edit: new events added from Jan 2020)
In each event you get:
a. Competition points: one point for each competitor you beat
b. Participation points, which depend on the event according to the following list:
Note that in blindfolded solves, you must either get a successful result, or attempt all scrambles for that event for a DNF result, in order to get participation points for that event.
Note that with 3x3x3 Multiple Blindfolded, you do not get the participation points for 2 * the number of cubes if your result is a DNF.
The points were originally assigned by Arnaud van Galen to attempt to represent the amount of effort (time) required to participate in each event. Thus, it is a reward for devoting effort to the competition.
