Then (sorry to threadjack) the fault is with the tournament rules, which should count a win in OT as a win by 1/2 a point (or even 0 points). Overtime is just a means of breaking a tie, it's an administrative quirk that its score is added on.
And as long as I'm threadjacking, I followed a link posted a few weeks ago here to an AAU basketball tournament site -- fancy, hard to read & navigate, but thanks whoever posted it -- and saw it had only youth tournaments. Are there any
adult AAU basketball teams left? It used to be common for NCAA varsity teams to play pre-season exhibitions with AAU clubs.
