Bug in Arena tournament - wrong result notification for a Draw

In one of our youth tournaments a draw (lichess.org/7sVqC2Qx#37) was correctly noticed on the score sheet of the white player but his opponent with the black pieces got 0 points.

Tournament link: lichess.org/tournament/bYRPHsg7
White player was #8 Aidtop (2 points for his game 6) and black Player was #3 Dudelsackmusik (0 points for his game 7).

Is anybody able to fix it?

Best regards,

This is not a bug but a feature, quoting from the Arena Tournament FAQ:

"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."

So as Dudelsackmusik also drew his previous game and the game did not last at least 30 moves, he gets no points.

The reason is in the Arena Rules:

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.
Thanks a lot to both of you for your quick answers!

Best regards,
