I think it was just a case of one U.S. and one Canadian team contesting their scores after finalist were announced. Someone took a screenshot of a tweet from the Canadian team that placed 4th among Canadian teams and posted it in one of the Worlds threads (probably somewhere in day 2).
Honestly, the IOC 5 semi-finals this year will go down to be one of the most controversial sessions at any Worlds ever. Too many teams were rescored and the lack of transparency/clarification left everyone confused. I don't think they even made an official announcement, Wildcats and that one Canadian team were just added to the schedule the next day. I'm almost certain most people found out through social media, but no one could confirm it because USASF never made an official statement.
Ah I don't remember them contesting their score (but I'm pretty sure I was delirious from lack of sleep during part of the day 2 thread), that makes more sense then. I thought it was as a result of it being called unfair that the US would have 4 teams in finals.
Between this and IOC6 last year, Worlds has gone way down in my estimations.
