Reposted as I got the code slightly wrong on last line
should have read
DAPGain = AAPLoss (corrected below)

Psuedocode follows,  

This ignores Transfers.
ie. for fumbles.  

It works for me everywhere else though,
maybe clarify with specific transfer rules

add...

AAPGain = Amount of AP Gained by attacker DAPGain = Amount of AP Gained by defender

modify...

If (Defender must lose AP) then
  DAPLoss = (Bid + (OE - DE) ) * RX
  If (transfer) then

     AAPGain = DAPLoss

If (Actor must lose AP) then
  AAPLoss = Bid * RX
  If (transfer) then

     DAPGain = AAPLoss

PS

I also agree with Wulf's text version and vote we use it in the FAQ
