The problem was with their lift. You can tell that because an illegal move as part of an element means the element gets either Level 1 or no score at all. Their lift was the only element they had that was Level 1 in the SD.
So let's look at their lifts this year:

Lift at Nebelhorn

Here's the rule:
I've highlighted the sections that apply. Nebelhorn tech panel thought the movement was not established or sustained or was used only to change pose. Or that she was not sitting on his shoulders for a brief time. SC panel disagreed.

Here's the rule:
If there is an illegal movement during the execution of any element, the deduction for an illegal movement will apply and the
element will receive Level 1 if the requirements for at least Level 1 are fulfilled. Otherwise the element will be called No Level.
Rule 604, Paragraph 16
The following movementsand/or poses during the lift are illegal:
Lifting hand(s) of the lifting partner higher than his head*;
Lying or sitting on the partner’s head;
Sitting or standing on the partner’s shoulder, back;
Lifting partner swinging the lifted partner around by holding the skate(s)/boot(s) or leg(s) only
with fully extended arm(s) or by holding the hand(s) with full arm extension by both partners;
Lifted partner in upside down split pose (with sustained angle between thighs more than 45
degrees)**;
* It is not considered as an Illegal Lift Movement/Pose if:
· the point of contact of the lifting hand/arm of the lifting partner with any part of the body of
the lifted partner is not sustained higher than the lifting partner’s head;
· the lifting hand/arm which is used for support or balancing only or which touches any part of
the body of the lifted partner is not sustained by the lifting partner higher than his head for
more than 2 seconds.
** A brief movement through an upside down split pose (with any angle between between thighs) will be
permitted if it is not established (sustained) or if it is used only to change pose.
