Pvp Tournament Granted a "Bye" 90 points not fair

I was granted a "bye" in a classic style tournament because there was no one to match me with. Well instead of being given 100 points for a win, I was given 90 points. So, because of this- I can't get 1st place now. You need 400 points to get 1st. So even if I win the next 3 matches that 90 point "bye" added with the 300 is only 390 leaving me to get 2nd. Well, I should have got 3rd place in that tournament. BUT because of the 90 point "bye" I was given my very 1st match, - I was forced into 7th place. Leaving me a BIG loss on arena tickets that should have been mine. Why is the person being granted the "bye" being punished? No matter what that person does the rest of the tournament they can't get 1st place. Or the place they truly deserve after that. Being granted a "bye" should help the person, but the way KI has it now, if a person gets a "bye" and only given 90 points instead of 100 they are forced to do worse in the tournament. It's ridiculous, seriously. Take some time and really listen to this problem KI and don't sweep this aside!! Google it, people are upset about this and have been for YEARS!! It needs serious thought! Jus There are so many things just like this that have been an issue for YEARS that KI just ignores. It's not right. It cost people real money, and if you listen to the issue, and investigate it, you will see that I am not wrong about this subject!

Tournament points for a "bye" should not restrict the person being given the "bye", and by only giving them 90 points you are forcing them to take a worse rank than they truly deserve!!!

Smh. Clearly I know I don't have to pvp. Everything I wrote I wrote for a reason, and a legit reason. People have been upset about this topic longer than you have played thus game. A Tournament byes should never restrict an innocent participant. Plain and simple. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.

I agree. People who are granted a bye shouldn't be penalized for something they can't control. You should award full points for a win.... or don't let an odd number of people/teams join. I've also lost out on many first place wins because of being short on points due to a bye.
