In the dance category, Maple Mountain received a penalty for being out of bounds. Had this not of happened, the Ellevés would have received 3rd place in the dance category. Overall, the Ellevés would have been 4th, but because of the lower placement in dance because of the penalty, Maple Mountain ended up 7th overall.
