Although General Rule 5 says that the least restrictive penalty must be applied in all cases, the fact is that the WIDI rules state that writers may have no more than 25 minutes to write. Because of this rule, the proctor may have interpreted your writing in overtime as cheating, and SO's scoring guidelines say that any cheating is grounds for disqualification. (You are lucky to have only gotten last place as the penalty because they should have given you 27th per the guidelines.)
I hate to break it to you, but your ranking will most likely hold.

Re: Write It Do It B/C
Bit of advice here, do this event with a partner you know really well. This can make all the difference. I did this with a best friend last year and we got 3rd at regionals with no practice. I did it again with someone I hardly knew at state and it went poorly. There are a lot of different variables, but having a partner you know very well can help a ton.
