In the Team Match between the Fast Players Group and the Unity Group, there were 20 boards, and each team scored 20 points. This should obviously be a draw, and yet the Fast Players Group was awarded the victory. On one page the score is displayed as 20-22. This is clearly not even possible as there were only 40 games played, not 42. I don't know where these 2 mysterious victories came from, but it affected the overall outcome of the match. Please correct this. Thank you.

Didn't you know? in group chess when there is a draw by points; "the team with the coolest sounding name shall get 2 extra points" and also it is stated "If there's no name clearly cooler, then the team with the longest name shall be awarded with the 2 extra points"

it's in the rules.
