Default OLC Questions

I have a couple questions about OLC but first let me say that I have not read all the rules but I have tried to submit a service request with no joy.

1) Why does OLC have me located at R9 and not R5 and how can I change that?

2) I see the various scoring in clubs, airfields, Best Flights, ect, and I see various leagues, and I see that all gliders are scored via DAeC Index to compensate for glider performance. But I do not see that any part of the country is used for compensation in the OLC-Plus. There are obvious parts of the country that have better and higher lift. Is it a fair or true OLC when a pilot is scored in part of the country that gets lift often many time higher and more often than another. Could OLC have an area compensation programmed to give points based on distance divided by height achieved? Which pilot should receive more points, Pilot A that gains 5k feet from release and flys 100km or Pilot B that only gains 1k feet and flys 100km? Both pilots topped out. And of course triangle and speed are calculated as well.

Maybe someone can give me the quick version of how scoring is computed since I'm new at this.

Thanks
Casey
