According to the manual:

and I'm not sure what conditions you could find where you could be scored to be both fully supported by the mountain High Zone and the Pull-Up Bar at the end of the match, as they're mutually exclusive conditions, since the End-Game is part of the Driver Controlled Period.

Could you explain how you came to a different conclusion?
