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

This is a mathematical fact based on the maximum number of banners from off, def, and winning.And I GUARANTEE you are wrong, since your score would be impossible

Where am I wrong?

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

Read the previous comments:

Each GA has 4 rounds of 3 battles each.

So, 2 full GAs gives 8 rounds with 24 battles.

First correct thing you’ve said in this thread. How’d you do in the 21 battles where you didn’t get a bye?

Also it says here you miss 1 battle, not 1 round per bye. (they call it a round, but it's what you call a battle).

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.

You lose the entire round of 3 "rounds" for each bye you get.

Are you confusing a "Bye" with not signing up for a round of GAC? that is the only way to skip 3 entire battles.

GAC = 4 rounds (or grand arenas) or 3 battles, and a bye is when you are awarded max points for 1 battle (1 individual matchup in a GA round)

I might be mistaken about the number of rounds per GA, if its 3, then I lost:
29,291/3= 9,763 times 3 byes missed = 29,291, half my score.

You're not making sense. In your original post you claimed, that your total score was 29,291. Now you claim that 29,291 is half your score.

A score of 29,291 for 2 GAS of 3 rounds each makes your average score approximately 4,9 k per round. A full clear win in divisions 1 and 2 usually rewards you roughly 3,500 points. Even if adding points for completed feats, something is far off.

Please check your math. Something is wrong.
