I took a full team into final match to get the 60 and draw for the win...If I thought I wouldn’t win I would have gone undersized...hence my frustration...thanks in advance for feedback
The same thing happened to me. I could have entered the battle with an undersized team but since I had 300k PG more than my opponent I thought it was not necessary. I am sure I did not have gained that much PG in a week.
We are actively monitoring for bug and issues with Grand Arena. Please post your ally code and what issue you are experiencing. Thank you for your time!
Current Grand Arena Known Issues:
There is a rare chance the first time you attack a territory with no defense will cause the client to restart. You will not receive rewards or Banners for this battle that crashed but you will receive Banners and rewards for subsequent battles after the restart. This is not impacting all players but we are still investigating the issue and let you know when we find out more information.
Error 11 causing reboot of client after first win - patch is deployed
MussM has higher character (53k) and total GP (265k) doesn't he? Going by Crumbs' last official post on tie breakers states the GP at roster locker determines the winner in the event of a tie. Previous to that the developers advise the player with higher GP will be the victor.
You are completely correct. Thanks for pointing that out
Submit a bug report. Hope they can get back to you and award you Points + Rewards
Thanks Ultra
I submitted a ticket, response is it is a known issue please allow time for us to rectify...in the mean time I finished 4th not 1st so less rewards for this GA, get a loss bonus instead of a win bonus to GAC score, and the GAC store currency for a loss instead of for a win...
P*ssed about all three but ultimately the 1000 point win bonus hurts the most as that could be the difference between kyber and the next level down...never tied before but relied upon the developer info that higher GP would win, if there was information to say the opposite I would have played last fight differently (less safe). Now I wait for correction!
You are lucky. I did not receive any response from EA or CG. This is the first time I have reported a bug and I hope they look into my situation and fix this issue.
Be nice to get a) clarification of my personal result from the ticket I put in and b) exact definition of tie breaker result if it is not based on character GP from our friends @CG_Carrie@CG_SBCrumb ???
Down in bug-fixes it says that ties will now be settled by Matchmaking GP. Which is your top X toons, depending how many you set.
The major downside of this is that it is exceptionally difficult for users to accurately work out what this is, so all ties will create a seed of doubt.
@DarjeloSalas
ThAnks for posting, if we battle 8 each that would indicate matchmaking of 80 toons...would you agree? If so and I compare top 80 of myself and oppo, and I’m in front...what then?

I’m under the impression, and have seen anecdotal evidence, that it would be 40 (defenders only).
@Firebrigade
Thanks for your input...at 40 I’m down, at 65 and 80 I’m up...
Not just because it suits my position in this case, but surely 40 can’t be the roster comparison when 40 good toons won’t cut it at this gp? If you don’t bat to 70-100 you need malak to sandbag and in that case I’ve still won before. Not having a dip at you or your comment, just frustrated with the lack of definition around this issue from the devs. Appreciate the insights provided!

I don’t disagree with you, I’m just not sure they’re looking at it like that. It definitely *should* be taking offense into account as well, but it didn’t appear to be. I didn’t check it this most recent round but in the previous one, on match day, my groups have been almost exactly matched on the gp of the top 30 characters (6 teams). It didn’t differentiate too much more out to 60, but wasn’t as close as it was at 30.
There has been some discussion around how ties are resolved in Grand Arena, and I wanted to clarify one part specifically:
If two players tie in Grand Arena with the exact same amount of Banners at the end of a round then Galactic Power will be used to resolve the tie. The Galactic Power of both players is captured at the time of matchmaking and does not update at the end of a battle. This means at the end of an event both player's GP may have changed and will not be representative of who would win in a tie.
If you think you are experiencing a bug in Grand Arena, please let us know over in the official bug thread.
At the last Grand Arena me and my opponent got the same number of Banners. According to what You wrote, I should win because I have more Galactic Power, but I lost.

Was under the impression ties were decided by gp..see screenshots...I still lost
Please explain?
Proof of tie??
And if tie, it's going off of character gp not total gp

Bugged in GAC battle. No buttons worked, etc. Had to wait until time ran out.
same as me in the above...I had a response saying it was a known issue they are looking at resolving via email...not happy

This has been clarified, I think, by the devs in this post:

All the anecdotal evidence I’ve seen supports 80, not 40 (assuming 8 defensive team setting)
