Presentation covers many things, including the way the story is set out. It’s a minor point on the judging scale; always has been, in every itineration of the competition. It’s there because a story, no matter how good, is no longer enjoyable to read when it’s presented in a fat wad of typo-ridden text with no breaks. It’s also about recognising effort; people who take the time to read back through their work a time or three are far less likely to have such mistakes.
