Tournament Standings Bug (Draw is counted as a Loss)

Dear Lichess Team,

I have stumbled upon a little, albeit significant bug in the tournament standings (i.e. my point counter) in the following bullet tournament I played in: lichess.org/tournament/4VapetBJ

When one clicks on my name (I finished fourth) one can see that I played user pan4 in Round 5 (game link: lichess.org/RIbF9GBG/white#0). The game ended in a draw by threefold-repetition, and is counted so on the game page as well as in my personal tournament overview. But in the standings, it is counted as a "0" (i.e. a Loss). For the remainder of the tournament, the counting returned to working as normal.

I wanted to report this bug merely for informational reasons, I do not really care about my particular case and the point being refunded. Maybe it is of value to you!

Thank you for your awesome work! :)
have you checked the rules of the tournament? Many draws in a row, or draw before a certain number of moves may give zero points.
Draw streaks: When a player has consecutive draws in an arena, only the first draw will result in a point, or draws lasting more than 30 moves. The draw streak can only be broken by a win, not a loss or a draw.

I guess you were one move away...
Oh yes, thank you! That is it.
I guess I haven't noticed the implementation of this rule.
Sorry for the inconvenience, Lichess Dev Team.

All the best!
