Generally, in medal classification a single gold medal is better than any amount of silver and bronze, and single silver is better than any amount of bronze. This means, that by usual rules, Cloudsdale probably won as many gold as Ponyville and one less silver (which would increase the importance of Rainbow's Flutterhy's and Biceps's medals), as suggested at the end dialogue.

However, judging by the dialogue during ice archery, it's indeed probably quantity over quality. They don't worry about which place the Cloudsdale get. It seems that even at spot 2nd and 3rd the Ponyville would lose, while in real medal counts a single guy on first place would matter much more.
