Please explain to me the insanity of mechanical bull riding scores?


I get that this could be some kind of enjoyable sport in hick taverns. But how are these ludicrous scores generated? Is it a style contest like figure skating? I mean it seems like it should be cut and dry, ride for x seconds at y difficulty for z score. But they're just throwing all these wild numbers out there. Looked like a bunch of made up nonsense. Is this a real thing?
