Zero fight+zone points for defeating opponent in GAC, due to forfeit screen.

My JMK team killed the last toon standing - Jabba right when the forfeit/submit prompt appeared. I chose submit instead of forfeit. Now the game shows the enemy team as defeated, and I was not awarded points for that fight even though it was cleared. No points awarded for zone either.

More importantly no chance of claiming the points since it was all cleared.

Assuming I lost only 20 points due to leaving Jabba alive and beating him in a 2nd fight. I would have ended up to 1823 points or less.

    @EA_Gunner longer then 5 minutes? Yes, I guess so but ordinarily it is counted as a win. The final attack was running when it hit zero. I watched as the timer counted down. The final move and assists were running when the forfeit prompt appeared over them. JMK's GL ultimate creates a chain of assists.

    Previously when exiting any fight (without the forfeit prompt) it was counted as a win. The prompt forced a loss or forfeit and disengaged the points system from the previously constructed win situation (when the final move was in action, like in basketball, the ball left the player's hands before the "shot clock" timer or game timer stopped... the points and game are won.)

    @EA_Gunner that is true at the conclusion of the battle sequence. In this case however the naturally occurring battle sequence was cut off at the prompt. If not for the forfeit prompt these battles were always considered a win, that's why the last toon dying was saved. I have seen that happen several times in my 1000s of squad arena battles, the counter runs down to zero, the screen closes after the complete battle sequence, and then the result was tallied, but in this case the system has been split in two. The result tagged at the endif before the end of the while loop. Created dead toons and cleared zones, without points awarded.

    @EA_Gunner never a draw. I think it was 4 points for 4 dead toons? So the points awarded was given immaturely. In the past, the points were given after the conclusion of the battle. Here the conclusion and points were tagged at the counter. The algorithm is schitzoprenic. This left nothing to fight in the zone to claim zone win.

    Basically. 4 points for 4 dead toons were awarded prematurely. Jabba got dead. He was the only toon left in the zone. The points for dead Jabba in any case was never given. The zone clear points were never given. The battle win/defeat message used to appear at the end of the battle sequence, well after the "shot clock" at 0 seconds.
