Arena mode?

It is possible to play Arena Mode for this solo game, but nothing happens either if you win or lose the game: always stuck at 1 point in my ranking.
So, is it a bug that the game is in Arena Mode or is there a bug in the scoring system?

I don't think solo games were ever intended to have Arena. I guess the scoring is just based on the rankings of the players you beat. Since you beat no one, you get nothing.

As it is a solo game, I can not imagine it will have an area mode, as that is a competitive version.

Season 22 of "For Northwood" shows 0 players in the Arena, as one would expect. Where do you think you're seeing "1 point in my ranking"?

It was an Arena game. The player is reported as "Winner". But there are no reported Arena or elo results. Maybe the player saw the overlay with +0 shields when the game ended.

Exactly, I played an arena game, even if the result was not considered. I'm perfectly aware that it's a solo game. As other solo/coop games (regicide, sail, paint the roses...) it should not have an arena mode at all. The way it is now is confusing and pointless and I was wondering if this was a bug or there was something I couldn't understand in the arena mode for this game.
