These numbers are based on the seasonal "Middle-earth CCG Official Ranking System by Chraig 'Ichabod' O'Brien, for I.C.E.", put in a code block below (up to 32 players). I've seen another version that is more like ELO, but this one makes a little more sense to me for the purpose of tracking for (hypothetical) event qualifications.
I'm showing the differences from 500 Ranking Points (RP) in the first two columns below, followed by individual tournament contributions. Without a regular yearly timeline, I replace Ichabod's 0.2x (or 0x for negatives) multipliers per season with a "decayed" RP calculation. After each tournament, I add the points of that tournament to the ranking points from after the previous tournament reduced by a fraction for each month that elapsed between. With our sparser schedule, I use a 4 year rather than 1 year timescale, so 0.2x (or 0.01x for negative sums) for every 48 months.
If I missed collapsing someone's real name and forum, discord, or cardnum username, let me know.

Middle-earth CCG Official Ranking System
by Chraig 'Ichabod' O'Brien, for I.C.E.
The System
Winning / losing
Each win gives a player +1 ranking point (RP), each loss -1 RP
No ranking points are won or lost on draws or byes
The pool
At the start of the tournament each player donates 10 ranking points to the pool.
At the end of the tournament the points in the pool are distributed according to the table at the next sheet, based on each players final standing
All final standings are important, so try to break all ties using the tie braking rules
Dropouts do not get ranking points from the pool (as they do not achieve a final standing); this may cause some RP's to be lost (not redistributed)
First ranking
The first time a player is ranked he / she starts with 500 points, plus 20% of his / her points over 500 (if any) in the final ranking of the previous season
Only points over 500 are taken into account, a player never starts a season at less than 500 points
After the first ranking the changes in RP's are added to the players previous RP total
Examples
Alex played in a 15 player tournament and ended up 2nd with 3 wins and one loss. His previous ranking is 521. His new ranking is: 521 + 3 - 1 - 10 + 24 = 537 (previous ranking + wins - losses -10 RP's for the pool + 24 RP's for 2nd place in a 15 player tournament (from the table) = 537)
Eve played in a 23 player tournament, she won twice and lost twice and ended up in 14th place. She has not been ranked yet this season. Last season her final ranking was 486. Her new ranking is: 500 + 2 - 2 - 10 + 10 = 500
Phil played in a 10 player tournament. He won the first round but lost the second and dropped out after that. His previous ranking is 495. His new ranking: 495 + 1 - 1 - 10 + 0 = 485
Note that Phil does not get a final standing and therefore no RP's from the pool, even though he might have more tournament points then the players ending in 8th and 9th place. Phil may have dropped out, but the tournament is still ranked as a ten player tournament
Olivia played in a 26 player tournament, she won three times, lost twice and ended up in 5th place. She has not yet been ranked this season. Her final ranking last season was 526. Her new ranking: 500 + 5 + 3 - 2 - 10 + 16 = 512
