Default OLC Scoring for 2011

After Tucson Soaring Club's first decent cross-country flights of the
2011 OLC season, we noted a change to the scoring. This introduces
the category "OLC Plus" that combines the OLC Classic with 0.3 of the
FAI triangle score. The intent is to encourage cross-country triangle
flights rather than up-and-down ridge running. OLC now apparently no
longer preserves the Classic and FAI cumulative scores, but they are
displayed on individual flight pages.

This change will be beneficial to us out west, who do mostly thermal
flying, but will discount the score of the eastern ridge runners.
