	Assuming they ran the swiss correctly (players are paired based on similar
record), you played against a 4-0 player, and beat him to go 5-0, making him
4-1.  If there was less than 32 players, though, you were the only
undefeated player.  And was it announced beforehand that there would be a
finals?  If they did, and then decided to change it mid-tournament, that's
against policy, and you have a right to file a complaint with the DCI.  And
by "decided ranking by points", what points do you mean?
Honor/Provinces/Rings, or did they use some other method?  Those are used
mainly to decide games in case of a tie, and the only other time is as a
third tiebreaker after opponent's winning percentage and head-to-head have
been used.
