At what time does the game calculate arena rewards?

Numerous times over the last couple months I have been in the 1% when the game flipped over to the following day. And yet when the rewards showed up I was in the 5%. What gives?

Same. That’s why I was starting to wonder. And decided to stay up and watch. A few days ago I was actually ranked number 1 with less than an hour left, and still ended up with a 5% score. I couldn’t imagine anyway possible i had slipped to 1400 in that amount of time. There’ve been many other days like that too.
Given that the last hour (well, the last 55 minutes) is also when everyone's just been given ten shiny new Arena tickets, it's to be expected that it will get very competitive in that time. If you want to be in the top 1%, you'll need to be playing in the last twenty minutes to have a chance, really.
(To answer the OP's original question, there's a countdown timer in the Arena. You can compare that with the countdown timer for the Dailies. Arena is calculated 55 minutes after the Dailies.)
This is all entirely correct. Those players in PST are a little better off as they can play arena from 10pm-10.55pm with their ten new tickets while you would have to wait until after midnight for EST. Europeans could play in the morning for the most part.
However, I notice a strange little quirk in the updating as I often reach Rank 1 and have tickets left so I wait... and wait... and the Ranking never drops. I have to close and reset and then it shows a lower ranking so I can burn a ticket and earn a few credits. So to be sure of your true ranking, I would restart just in case.
I was ranked 37 when I went to bed at 11:00 EST last night. I woke up to rank 50. I was surprised, but I did indeed receive the appropriate number of schems.
After I got my sphere to 9/9 I spent a week in the top 50 in Captain division without fighting a single battle.
The screen showing your rank is not accurate. You can enter the arena for each division to get your correct rank too, again for each division.
