Looking for someone to help modify a Wordpress plugin

[Elessar]

I've been running a NASCAR league on the PlayStation forums for two years now and this year the particpants doubled. So manually updating points takes at good 30-45 minutes which leaves me prone to error(s). I've found a wordpress plugin I can run on my site that will allow players to enter their picks and update the points automatically. You can find the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/motor-racing-league/ . I downloaded the plugin but know nothing about PHP, but this plugin is fairly close to what I need in terms of features, it's just the points system is nothing like what I need. The author of the plugin says you can edit the points system the plugin users (t's a PHP file) but with no PHP knowledge, I'm not really sure how to tackle this.

Here's a breakdown of our points system...

Players/participants are allowed three (3) picks per race. The points are handled as such;

Win = 50 points

Top 5 = 25 points (2nd-5th)

Top 10 = 15 points (6th-10th)

Top 15 = 10 points (11th-15th)

Top 20 = 5 points (16th-20th)

Most Laps Lead = 5 points

Picks finish 1-2-3 = 25 points

What I need...

Player A picks drivers #: 1,01,11.

Driver # 1 finishes 1st (wins the race)

Driver # 01 finishes 4th (top 5)

Driver # 11 finishes 21st (no points)

The points for this player would be 75 (50 for the win and 25 for 4th place).

As for leading the most laps (5 points), perhaps a check box next to the each driver for me to indicate this and the plugin would see that and add the 5 bonus points. If a players' picks finish 1-2-3 (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) then the plugin would need to see that and award 25 points accordingly.

Currently we have roughly 25 players/participants and I expect that to grow before next season so I can see it takign me at least an hour to update points each week, plus possible errors. If someone is interested in helping me, I would greatly appreciate it. If you require some form of payment (sorry fellas, sexual favors are out of the question...ladies...I'll have to think about it) we can discuss this if you're interested in helping.

First and only bump. Would really love even a bit of (serious) help.

How different is the current plugin to what you need?

The plugin mentions in the readme that you can link to a different php file for the points. Essentially you can take the default points php file and modifying it. I just don't know php.

You dont need to know PHP to be able to edit a PHP file.

True, but the 'if' statements really throw me for a loop (pun intended?) since I didn't write the plugin, I'm not really sure that the calls I make are/will be correct.
