Grand Arena byes lose out of multiple rewards, 100's of currency, & 1000's of championship pts

The 1st two Grand Arenas I got 3 byes, giving me 5 of the 8 individual battles.

My championship score after the 1st 2 Grand Arenas was: 29,291

Dividing my score by 5 gives me the average I scored per individual battle: (29,291/5) = 5,858.2

Thus, I lost 5,858 pts per bye (17,574.6 pts total) plus feat currency, divison rewards, and final event rewards.

In conclusion, getting a bye does not give you anything, contradicting the developer's comment and screws you out of thousands of championship pts, good rewards, and GA currency. It totally sucks!

I am only referring to the 1st 2 official GA's, I am not including the current GA.

That is reason I am posting this, I GUARANTEE I did not get max pts per bye, I got nothing for the last bye.

I guarantee you that I did not get max banners/pts for a bye, I got 3 in the 1st 2 GA's, I should know.

if you didn't get max banners than your 29k banners would be impossible to achieve. This is a mathematical fact based on the maximum number of banners from off, def, and winning.

No Zap, my math is correct and since you cannot say where, you don't get it. I might have the wrong number of individual battles per round (is it 3 or 4?) But the math is correct nonetheless.

So, using your initial choices of phrase. If a bye makes you miss 1 round, so 3 battles, then you get the max points for that apparently. But that means you have to subtract that many points from your score before you divide it by 5, because otherwise you are saying you fought for the points you got in the bye as well. So try that perhaps? or divide it by 8 immediately, then compare it to the max people are saying you should get, you should see it works either way.

I’m just completely lost on what he’s even saying, not to mention he’s being completely rude.

If he truly did only have 29,291 points after 2 full GACs, which consists of 24 matches, that’s only 1,220 points avg per match, which is extremely low.

Man, does anybody have any reading comprehension or math skills anymore?

Yeah, it’s pretty simple. OP didn’t get a bye, he simply didn’t join GAC, and therefore did get no points.

The current round of the GA says enter, not join. I entered every day of each GA period, so that can't be the answer.
