Forgot to check whether to swap or not but it didn't matter in the end.

Well done to Nefarious.

I was the only person to be hit by a nuke the whole tournament.

Thank you to Luna_ and the other FAL admins for running the competition this season!

195 is where I ended up in the end. Top 200 place achieved,, and that's all that matters to me. I was very unlikely to gain places with the bench options I had; they both performed worse than primary switch-out candidate Kanojo ga Flag, to give you an idea of how bad we are talking about.

So yeah. That's an average performance for an experimental, but ultimately average team. I will be back for Fall, and will most likely be playing a serious team again then.

Also, congrats to Nefarious on the win.

Wow...rank 52. That's way lower than I had expected. Sigh, I'll have to play with a bit of risk next time. Grats to Nefarious though! Well done.

I'll need to give huge thanks to Haikyuu. I'm also surprised and so stoked I placed as the runner-up my second time around! Congratulations to Nefarious for not only winning, but by a margin of over 10,000 points! Great job!

At 72th place, didn't expect to be hit with a drop over 10 again though. This was fun and I now have learned how to use my aces correctly! Good job to everyone! ^^

Managed to stay in the top 50 for the whole season, which is fine I guess. For not having Haikyuu or Isshuukan Friends or any of the double point shows.

At least I managed to defeat Stark who had the same team as me but didn't swap this last week :>
I probably regret this post by now.

Congratulations to Nefarious!!

First time joining FAL and got rank 14! This is really surprising :o
And I was rank 50 last week, too.

I'll surely be joining next season.

I didn't pay too much attention in the final few weeks :(

But yeah, missing out on either of those was a bummer this time around.

Wow, this has really been one amazing and fun season. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this past season what it was and I hope you will participate next season as well with possibly some more new faces joining FAL to make it even better :)

I did put Haikyuu on my bench for the sole purpose that it would help later in the season, but I had no idea it was going to be this effective, things really clicked this season for my team. I mostly decided to pick a team for bench that I didn't think was gonna be strong on watching points only as I did previous season which basically crippled me for the rest of the season and I was stuck with only my active team. It seems that no person that won FAL has managed to repeat the task, so I'm gonna try really hard to be the first to complete that feat, and hopefully there will be a lot of you trying to prevent me from doing that :D be sure to check the FAL club 'cause there might be some interesting updates soonish

Another top 15 finish! I'm happy with that. Haikyuu turned out to be the dark horse (and I had that in my team, but I couldn't use Chaika all season), so instead I should have just picked another early airing anime x_x.

Congrats Nefarious!

First try and i'm already in the hundreds. I sure have eye for Anime's. But i made a big mistake for not choosing MKNR. If i had choose that, i may have been in the 90s. I never added it as i didn't think that i would watch it. I only choose the Anime I 100% will watch.
Saw others in the 10s on their first try...I feel ashamed

Second biggest ever victory margin in absolute terms (behind spring last year).
Biggest ever lead in absolute terms (although not in % terms) of the top series over the second highest in terms of total score (beating Shingeki no Kyojin)
Biggest ever lead in both % and absolute terms of the top series over the second highest in terms of weekly score (beating its own record from week 11 and Shingeki no Kyojin on the final week of spring last year respectively)

Interesting how unimportant it was this season whether a show started on first week or second week. The only thing related to that, was that I did leave a third week show on my bench, and I started the season in 97th place (which I think is the lowest rank in week 1 for an eventual winner of the season), however I'm not sure if that was only this season specific or can be said for every season.

It is the lowest rank in absolute numbers, but kuragari was 75th out of 132 on week 1 of spring 2008 and went on to win.
