Qualification notes and fair-play handling

Ecuador and Ghana both qualified at shared third-place rank 3; strict order is unresolved and does not affect the tournament output.

No fair-play values are shown for Ecuador or Ghana because official per-team values were unavailable; none were fabricated.
