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

But the math is correct nonetheless. We can’t say where your math is wrong because we have no clue what you are even doing. It’s like saying 2A + (Cincinnati - 3Chickens) = Darth Vader. Where am I wrong?

"ZAP;c-2016688" wrote:"thecarterologist958;c-2016684" wrote: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.Honestly, it sounds to me like he thinks he got byes when he actually didn’t sign up for three of the individual GAs within the GACs.

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

@zap that's what happens in a bye. Once you are matched up, no bye is possible because there are 8 people per match. I bye means you miss the whole 3 battle match.

There are 4 rounds/ matches of 3 battles apiece per GA.

Ok I think you are actually forgetting to sign up for a GA. Byes are for individual fights, when say only 7 people get matched up instead of 8.

Wrong again. A bye happens when there are not enough players for an eight player bracket. So, seven players would be in a bracket. One player would get a bye in the first battle, then another player would get a bye the second battle, and a third player would get a bye the third battle.

This is the way I understood it. Seems we’re all on the same page except the OP.

@CamaroAMF that is not correct, where are you getting that info? I've had 3 byes, so I should know.

Each of the 3 byes I've gotten kept me out of battles for a week, (the full round/match of 3 battles.) If you have bot had a bye, you wouldn't know.
