Halo 4 GC; Winning with less than 25 kills?

Anyone notice that if you look through the recent matches of the (currently) top cats on the Championship leaderboard, specifically the 1st place user and the 2nd… every so often, they have 1st place wins with less than 25 kills (usually 24 or 23 kills). What!?!
Am I missing something or is this just suspect?

Not too concerned if it’s just some sort of cheating, I remember it stated in the rules that every match of the top 4 for each week would be reviewed to ensure a valid and legal placing, but just couldn’t figure on if there was a valid reason this could happen…?

There’s a time limit on matches, right?

If so, that’s likely the case.

Smh, I had a feeling there was something little I was over looking, but I didn’t think it was that. these matches have been going so quick, especially for swat, that I hadn’t even considered it. Well, thanks much.
