My thoughts as well. "Your team didn't come up" may mean that the judges that saw your team had another candidate that they thought was better qualified and they presented that team to the rest of the judges.
Here's an example. I've judged in FLL a couple of times. There was a team that was being considered for the Champions Award. Someone noted that the team wasn't nominated for any of the Project awards; does that indicate they were not a well-rounded team? I mentioned that they were on our short list but not at the top and so they weren't mentioned before. They were good; it's just that there were others that were better.
