Well, we did something right, because in addition to the coopertition award we were also #1 seed and tournament champions.

(Besides, what you say is not entirely true... The coopertition bonus had nothing to do with how much you beat your opponent by, only how many points they scored... So a 10-9 victory was just as good as a 20-9 victory in that regard.)
