Determining LA

First Post
I've seen people use a system of points to determine the LA for a homebrew race. Does anybody know what I'm talking about, and can maybe show me where it is or how it works?

You're likely talking about Upper_Krust's "Challenging Challenge Ratings" document, of which version 5 is the most up to date publically available one (version 3 was available, I think, as the appendix in Grim Tales). Version 6 also exists, but isn't publicly available at all.

You can download it at this post.

Note one important thing about it. Everywhere it says "CR" in the document, read "ECL" instead. This is basically the biggest change between version 5 and 6, as far as I'm aware. CR = 2/3 ECL, by this document, if you just mentally replace every mention of CR with ECL.

Once you have this point system, then LA becomes easy. LA = ECL - HD.
