This is a fair question to ask only if everything is the same from event to event.

We can look at a variety of stats here to see the two events were a bit different. The highest OPR at Bayou would have been valid only for 4th at Lone Star. 233, one of the winning teams at Bayou, increased their OPR by 10% between these two events. This helps to show the teams you're competing against have also improved during this time. There were 10 more teams at Lone Star. They were different. Even "consistent" judging will appear different when the thing being judged changes. What you're asking for isn't consistent. "We received X award at this event and didn't win at the following event" doesn't show a lack of consistency. You need to step back and evaluate the rest of the events to see if the decisions were really all that different.
