What does 形になります mean here?


『その隙を、ステージ部門二位につけた来禅が衝いたというわけですね。特に模擬店部門のメイドカフェの得票数が凄まじい！審査の際に物議を醸したという話ですが、実行委員の熱心なプッシュが功を奏した
**形になります** ね！』

The host was announcing that the champion school at a school festival was

The phrase has very low searchability so that I might miss one or two

Formal nouns are usually appositive not translating very well into English:
