Not sure? Seems pretty clear to most of the English-speaking western world.

The 2012s did fine in group play, got to one of the shortened games each (quarters) and lost. So, they missed out on a couple of extra 25 minute games - no loss and the teams were surely well seen without those last matches.

The 2013s had one team in the semifinals and lost to the tournament champions. Both age groups were well scouted based on several sources - actually, the players were well scouted, the teams are secondary.

Look, we appreciate the fact that you want to take a shot at the program for not winning two of the age groups, but don't you think that is more than a little petty on your part? Truth of the matter is that being a showcase, the teams do not need to go the distance in order to have their target coaches see players interested in their schools. If you have been part of the recruitment game, you will know that the finals are not the measure used for a showcase event.
