Default OLC Scoring for 2011

I am really have trouble figuring out how the OLC is scoring the FAI
triangle points. Look at USA Ken Sorenson's flight on Tuesday out of
houston and tell me what you think? He did not get any points for the
triangle, yet I could have easily plotted close to the entire flight (if
not indeed the entire flight) as a FAI triangle? Yet my flight last
Saturday was scored with much higher FAI points with much less (if any at
all) triangle flight trace.

Quite simple: Ken's triangle wasn't closed. The start point is about 3
miles east to the landing point.
