This is covered explicitly in the Current Rulings under tournament scoring. If both players do something that would cause each of them to forfeit the game, it is scored as a true tie. Each player gets 1 victory point and 0 differential. That is as "legal" as you can get--an official ruling.

The way this actually *should* work is that both players *lose* the game (0 victory points and 0 differential). You ran afoul of his Writ of Accountability, and it says you lose for doing a Q-Bypass. He failed to show a Devidian Door, and it says *he* loses for not doing that. But it is impossible to score a game so that both players lose. Either there is a winner (1 or 2 victory points) and a loser (0 victory points), or there is a true tie (1-1, 0 differential). There is no other way to score the game, so the true tie was chosen as the correct way to score it. There is no reason for one player to "win" when both did something that explicitly causes them to lose.
