cancelled game gave us zero ELO points and only one star

I recently played a game of Hanabi during which one player disappeared. We waited for a few minutes and then kicked them from the game and kept playing and finished the game. The game result page says that we got 74% of the ELO points we would have gotten if we'd won, but each of us got 0.00 ELO points. I looked at the ELO details and multiplied everything by 74% and got:

Line14028: 74% * (7.67 - 2.75 - 1.32) = +2.664
y_etc: 74% * (10.45 + 2.75 + 1.48) = +10.8632
ParadoxicallyAiriest: 74% * (8.96 + 1.32 - 1.48) = +6.512

Am I misunderstanding how ELO works? Why did none of us get any points?

Also, we got 22 stars/points in the game (which you can verify by checking the end of the replay), but we each only got 1 star. What's that about?
