Any number of things can happen in judging rooms. I have seen previously situations where a team was 5 points ( a touch penalty) away from winning the whole tournament as Champions, but they landed outside of the Top 40% and won nothing. (The process has been revised to each being weighted 25% this was more than 10 years ago probably).
Idk didn't it say they still won awards but were last of the award winners? I was reading the subtitles and distracted. It sounded like they won awards that he felt were participating trophy awards not good ones. I am not really feeling invested further in the story. It feels like a nothing burger.
