Red_Tuesday said: If you swap during week 2, the points count for week 2.Numi said: The soonest anyone can make a swap is during week two. A mistake like putting a late starter on your active team during registration will have a minimal impact on the amount of points earned during the entire season since it basically only affects week one (which usually has low points for most week one starts due to watching numbers often having only a couple days to accumulate) and the need of using swap in some instances, so I don't think it would be necessary to withdraw over that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I swap after week 2 starts, doesn't that swap only take effect for week 3's points onwards? I guess I misunderstood then, I'll be fine if a week 2 swap counts for week 2. |

I guess I misunderstood then, I'll be fine if a week 2 swap counts for week 2. It is as Tyrel said, Red_Tuesday. Swaps that are made during week two are processed before points are tallied for week two. Glad we could clear that up for you! |
| Hmm. I have six shows picked out, but I'm not sure whether I want Food Wars or My Love Story!! for my last slot. The latter looks like it stands a better chance of becoming great, but the former has roughly double the PTW count and the hype I'm seeing for each is roughly equal. Decisions, decisions... |

Agree with Tyrel. Food wrs has sufficent hype, and my love story, aside from voices, will probably plateau earlier. |

| Uh oh, what time is the deadline? ETA: Okay, just spotted it in the opening post :slaps forehead:. |

| Submitted my team about days ago. We are close to getting these rounds started! |
 |
| @nyaw987: I've added your team to my list and you'll be on the headcount next time I'll update the thread ;) If anyone else has problems with the 3 days limit, please post here (say that you have the problem) or even better send me a comment to let me know - you can sign up per email then. (Ah well, this is late now... only 15 minutes left until the deadline!) |

| Registration for FAL Spring 2015 has now ended! If you missed the registration for this season, don't worry. We'll be back for another FAL season in Fall 2015. Hope to see you then! |

Naruleach said: Yay! FAL Season is finally here! Luna_ said: I think this new rule about the Ace will make FAL much more interesting :)
That's bad news for me since I always used my ace on the lead show around the later weeks to make sure I was the only one with the same team to use it and possibly earn more points. A lot of people blindly used that ace on the first five weeks so it was very easy to earn the first place. Goodbye my sneaky move ! :< 40000 is a high number so only a few shows will achieve this amount quickly but trying to predict which teams will have unique scores on a specific week will be harder. |

| Hey, question: I declared OreGairu Zoku as ace on day 1. It had 29K members at that point or something like that. What happens if it crosses 40K (which it is in danger of doing) after? Do I have to declare a new ace now that it looks like it'll pass 40K just before the cut-off? Edit: Just noticed the 40K isn't relating to 'members', but 'currently watching', where can I find this info? Edit 2: Nevermind, found this lovely well-hidden stats page, no worries. |

You'll only have to worry about it once the watching figure hits 40K, which probably won't happen this soon. ;) In any case, in the event that someone does submit an ace for a show that winds up breaking the 40K watching mark by the time points are tallied at the end of that week, it'll count as an error rather than a failed ace. |
| Um. This may be a stupid question, but I'm a first timer in this. So... About the ace. If the deadline is on sunday 18:00, as in today, if I want to declare an ace and send the post before 18:00, is it coubted for week one's or week two's stats? I mean, how early you need to send the pm for the ace to count? And if I want to use it in the week 2, have I send the message before the week 2 or during the week 2 before sunday 18:00? |

Aces you send before the deadline will count for the current week. So if you send your ace before 18:00 today then it will count for week 1. If you want it to be counted for week 2 you should send it after 18:00 today and before next Sunday's (week 2) deadline. |

| ^ Thanks for the answer, I get it now. Another question popped in mind, though. According to what time 18:00 is counted? Is there such thing as an official MAL time? and in what time zone that is? |

| Right, of course. (feeling like an complete idiot). But at least my ace made it in time now... |

Luna_ said: +6000*((un)weighted score) points for score ratings on MAL upon week 7. Can you clarify what this means? Currently I have the choice between Hibike! Euphonium and Grisaia no Meikyuu for ace. But the above sentence doesn't explain how many points the 0.82 rating advantage Grisaia has over Hibike! will actually result in. |

Euphonium and Grisaia no Meikyuu for ace. But the above sentence doesn't explain how many points the 0.82 rating advantage Grisaia has over Hibike! will actually result in. The score is multiplied by 6000. For instance a score of 7.50 would net you 45,000 points. Therefore, a 0.82 rating difference would result in a point difference of 4920. |
