My guess (based off no real evidence whatsoever) is that FIRST isn't implementing playoff tiebreakers correctly, thus their code naively assume 2046, 2522, and 5937 didn't win their QF series (since they only have one "win" based on the final score) and doesn't assign points to them. This is just a hypothesis though.
Huh, that's an interesting observation - I think you may be on to something. I had not noticed they advanced out of quarterfinals off of a tiebreaker in match 3.

I am still finding my way around the information available on FIRST's new event results website, but I did find on this playoffs result page that it shows 2-1 for W/L on Alliance 2 in Quarterfinals. Without seeing what they are using to calculate district points, this doesn't rule out your hypothesis, just shows that they are identifying QF3T as a win based on the tiebreaker criteria.

Almost more interesting from the alliance results table on the playoffs page is the Octofinal W/L column - has there ever been a FIRST event where playoffs included Octofinals?
