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

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

2nd, you get max banners for a bye. We know this is true because we literally see it on the leaderboard. You do lose out on usually 1 feat and the others become a little more challenging with fewer battles but not impossible. You did not lose out on thousands of points. Most people gain points with a bye. Only the really elite players will be given fewer points than they average.
This is their 2nd post on it and I've yet to figure out how they come to that math.
You know there are only 3 battles per GA right? Which means you actually battled in 3 of 6 rounds.
Also, no, you did not miss out on 5800 points per bye. That is an impossible score, even in Div 1. I believe max banners from def and off is 1959, with 1600 for winning, meaning 3559 per round (not including feats).
now assuming you mean 8 battles (including the current GA round), then you would have gotten 10677 from the byes and 18614 from your own performances. This would be an average of 3722.8 including any feats you have accomplished.
Just to reiterate, you are most definitely getting points from a bye. The max points possible from 5 rounds without any feats in Div 1 is 17795, and yet you have 29291.
congrats on getting a bunch of free points with no effort
File a bug report then. We can see via leaderboards what happens when people get a bye.
if you didn't get max banners than your 29k banners would be impossible to achieve. This is a mathematical fact based on the maximum number of banners from off, def, and winning.
This somehow makes less sense than all the other nonsensical math you have posted today
And I GUARANTEE you are wrong, since your score would be impossible
So now you're saying your current gac score should be 38,000 points? A full 7,000 point more then 1st place in division 1?????
Oh so you should have 48,000 points, a full 17,000 more points then the current first place person? I'm impressed
Uh noone has 60k points yet this ga. The highest score in division one is roughly 32k. Where on earth are you getting these numvers?
Ok that's lifetime score so that takes into account the 2 prior full gacs, or 24 additional battles.
Lol I am only looking at div 1. And as someone earlier pointed out the absolute max points for a win is roughly 3,600 points. So it's impossible for you to have lost 5k points per bye
