Why didn't I get a medal?

I was playing in a 10|0 blitz swiss (<1199) tournament and going into the 5th round I was the only person who was 4/4. I ended up losing my game and I ended up getting 4th place! People going into the 5th round that were 3/4 ended up placing higher than me. Any explanations?

You were tied along with the top three players with four points. Of the four players, you had the lowest tie-break score.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

In arena tournaments, you get extra points for win streaks.
