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

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.

Yeah, my understanding is that a GAC consists of 4 weeks or 4 GAs, which has 3 matches each, so 12 matches in a full GAC.

Then I understood a bye was only 1 match and didn’t affect the other 2 matches within that GA. I may be wrong on this part as I’ve never had a bye.

Yeah, if you missed three battles, you failed to sign up for the GA, rather than getting a bye. I really should have considered this sooner. And yes he is being incomprehensible and rude, but I have other threads with conspiracy theorists for that, this guy I just feel sorry for.

Yes, that is a low average for 24 battles, but you forgot to put in the byes: 3 byes × 3 = 9 lost battles per bye gives (24-9 = 15) then (29,291/15)= 1952.7 per battle. 1952× 3 battles) = 5858 pts, 5858 × 3 missed byes = 17,572 total missed pts.

A bye is only one battle, not three.

No, it turns out there are 4 rounds of 3 battles per GA, so my original math is correct.

1 GAC (Grand Arena Championship) has 4 GAs (Grand Arenas).
1 GA has 3 rounds.

How are you losing 3 matches/battles for a bye?

I posted the math o the maximum possible points per fight and you still seem to think you can get 2,000 more points then what is mathematically possible.

He doesn't need to to know you're wrong, how many times do we have to repeat, A BYE IS ONE ROUND, NOT 3.
