I don't think so. We experienced the same thing in 2005. Our partners, Team 67 who won the Chairman's award, were allowed down on the field to celebrate. But the rest of the alliance was kept in the stands. This has galled us somewhat ever since, because previous Championship Winners were allowed to take the field for pictures etc.
We didn't say much at the time about our disappointment because it is Team Policy not to complain about such things, at least not publicly. But I am allowed to sympathize with others experiencing similar things.
In a way, these posts make me feel a little better because now I know it wasn't just us. We thought it was because we are just a small private school located far away from Mecca, I mean Manchester. But then those of us on the West Coast often feel ignored by HQ. If it was west of the Mississippi, it didn't happen....
