If you watched their awards ceremony, you would've known a couple of minutes, if even, after they announced spice winners, that they weren't. The GT girls went out to get their 2nd place banners, and SECONDS later they came back out on to the stage looking like they won a million bucks, THEY KNEW THEY WON. Then they got shoved off stage again. While spice was still celebrating, someone backstage KNEW, while it was all going down!! So they shouldn't even have gotten sized for rings or had time to tweet it. Had that someone, or everyone, said something and owned up to the mistake straight up, this wouldn't be as bad!
Yes it still would have sucked, but just do a Steve Harvey and own up to it. It sucks for the person/team getting 2nd when being called first, but it is what it is, you didn't win. Also calling SRX and queens "co-3rd place"... Varsity don't be a cop out. And every gym getting awarded a higher placement than you earned, give it up. I know it would suck, but it sucks just as much to lose in the first place and we've all done it before and survived it. We had a similar situation this season, with people who wasn't on the team getting medals during awards, and we talked about it and I could never take something I didn't earn, I could never be proud of it and it would just be a piece of metal with no worth.
It's a messed up situation, but has an easy solution. Say, "we didn't earn this, here you do, good job!". Even if varsity doesn't want to be the middle hand, you can easily meet up and exchange banners.
