One for all and all for one - 3

Am I correct in understanding that because the Nuborubi team played a third unnecessary game in the first round, and we were told that we didn't need to play, this decided the outcome? Gentlemen, if that's the case, why was that "X" mark put on our game? We would have played that game. It seems the organizer is to blame for us not advancing from the group, and I am filing an appeal with the Arbitration Committee.
