Ruling Judge Misrule Results in a Tie?

So here's the situation:
Two players go down to time. When time is called they are tied in prizes. They start on turn 0 and are told that they will play until someone wins. That forces the player on turn 0 to play differently than he would because it was less risky. On turn 3, they are then told by the head judge that the game will end in a tie. Is there anything wrong with the decision?

EDIT: That doesn't help me. This is not a best of three.

8.3. Determining the Outcome of an Unresolved, Best-of-Three Match
13
Pokémon Organized Play Tournament Rules
Rev: September 1, 2013
Use the following criteria, in order, to determine the outcome of a match that is unresolved after the final turn has ended. After one of the criteria has been met, none of the others are applied.
(1) If one player was late to the match or was away from the match without a judge’s permission for any period of time during the round, that player loses the match. The judge must have been made aware of this absence in advance of the end of the match. If both players meet this criterion, ignore this tiebreaker.
(2) If both players were on time to the match and were not away from the match for any period of time, the judge determines the winner of the current game in the following manner:
GAME 1
 If the last turn ends during game 1, the match results in a tie.
 If time is called after game 1 has been resolved but before the starting player for a Sudden Death game has been determined, the match results in a tie.
 If time is called after the game 1 winner has been determined but before the starting player for game 2 has been determined, the winner of game 1 wins the match.
GAME 2
 If the last turn ends during game 2, the winner of game 1 wins the match.
 If time is called after game 2 has been resolved but before the starting player for a Sudden Death game has been determined, the winner of game 1 wins the match.
 If time is called after the game 2 winner has been determined but before the starting player for game 3 has been determined, the match results in a tie.
GAME 3
 If the last turn ends during game 3, the match results in a tie.
 If time is called after game 3 has been resolved but before the starting player for a Sudden Death game has been determined, the match results in a tie.
 
Actually now, in best-of-1 games in Swiss, if the game isn't finished, it's a tie, no matter how many prizes were taken.
Does this help you question any or no?
