All team managers henceforth shall be given the opportunity to use a Wildcard starting Week 9 of the season. The details of this Wildcard are as follows:

The wildcard allows the team manager to choose three options:
  • Option 1: Add a one-time 450 point bonus to the team's score for the week.
  • Option 2: At a cost of 100 points, subtract 600 points from the team either above or below the player in the team ranking of the previous week (in other words, the most recently available team rankings).
  • Option 3: At a cost of 500 points, swap a bench anime with an active anime one more time.


To use this wildcard, PM Kayrhandros with your option choice. I realize this is a big new option, so any questions may be asked in this thread.

Nice~ :)

Option 2 seem a little weak though ^^

So there will be wildcard each week starting week9?

No, everyone gets only one wildcard. It's up to you to plan which week to use it.

Will there be an announcement that someone use a wildcard? Or is it private?

nope, they will be private. I imagine there would be many people using wildcards each week so announcements aren't really necessary

FAL has already started, we're currently in week one.

The points get counted every week on sunday evening, so you can expect the first rankings to be posted around that time. ;)

And even Sunday night at yet another place. It's the first week's counting anyway, don't expect the points to be up early.

Wildcard Option 2: At a cost of 100 points, subtract 600 points from the team either above or below the player in the team ranking of the previous week (in other words, the most recently available team rankings).

I want to know how does that work with us who are currently ranked number 11 (5 people). Ceray, FriendlySoul, Kineta, Nicasso and Sayako.

It looks to me that we can only use our Wildcard at rank number 10 and number 16 but not each other. I just want to know if that is true!

Yes, you're correct. If these rankings were the rankings for week 8+, then the people ranked on the 11th place would only be able to "nuke" (option 2) the person on rank 10 and rank 16.

On the other hand, if the person on rank 10 decides to nuke down (or the person on rank 16 decides to nuke up), he/she can choose which of the five people he/she wants to nuke.

So when you decide to use option 2, always add whether you want to nuke up or down, and in case there's a tie, please also specify which person you want to nuke. And please do double-check everything if you decide to nuke, since if you don't give us to correct info, we can't process it and you might not be able to nuke the same person in the following week(s).

Note though, that if there are score changes afterwards, the nuke targets may (depending on whether the rankings changed or not) change accordingly.

Suggestion:
  • Option 3+: At a cost of 500 points, swap a bench anime with an active anime
    ... from the team either above or below.

only applicable when this person still has swaps left.

wouldnt that be an interesting rule? ^^

thought about something like that, pay points to use one of your swaps on other teams XD

Yeah, pretty good idea. Though I'd remove the "only applicable when this person still has swaps left" part. Definitely something to discuss next season.
