Hi Gabriel,
There's a simple example and walkthrough of the WebPA scoring algorithm on the project website here:

It should give you the information you need.

Dear WebPA people
I've been reading with interest the various materials
available online about WebPA. The one thing I couldn't
find was the exact formula or algorithm that WebPA uses
to turn the tables of scores it gets from a group
of students into a peer-assessment score for each
student. I totally get how the system operates, what
the tutor does and what the students do. It's the exact
processing of the numbers--the maths underneath it all
-- that I'm trying to discover.
Can anyone tell me?
