"Couldn't have asked for it to go better" is an idiom that expresses one is very happy about a situation, as though it exceeded what he/she had hoped for ("could've asked for"). "It" here refers to the situation, which is the tigers meeting. Ex: My party was a success, I couldn't have asked for it to go better.
