Fencer or BBW(sorry, coan.net lol) or any clever person lol

Why, in this final game of this Elimination Tournament which is a ONE game Final did something odd happen.

Both players solved the codes in 6 tries and rightly enough the game is a draw as it states BUT how come myself (as the organiser) got a message saying one of the players was the winner ?
Why does the other lose ?

MadMonkey: In a single elimination tournament, where there needs to be 1 winner to move on to the next round, the "Win" in case of a tie/draw is the person with the lowest BKR rating at the time of the game.

I do not think it is very fair way to decide the final game of a Tournament though like this was
Why not just play again or black/white peg count or something ?

MadMonkey: That's why you should always create Single Elimination tournaments as "1 win match" - so in case of a draw, the match is replayed

Would be nice though if "1 win match" was preselected when one attempts to create a SE tournament.
