| Poor Tyrel. Lol. FAL is always fun. I guess I should start figuring out my team. |
| This seems like fun and I want to do it, but I message the FALbot for my team and lineup, but it keeps saying i haven't been a member for at least 3 days yet. When does the deadline or is their another way for me to do it or maybe doing it wrong? Thank you for reading and I hope you will help me. |
| I'm already in. Good Luck guys |

You need to be a member on the site for 3 full days before you are able to message anyone. Since the FAL deadline is still more than a week away, you have more than enough time to send in your team. You should be ok from tomorrow even! c: |

| So basically, we just add anime under our currently watching list, and we get points by the amount of people watching them and posting in the forums about that particular anime? Are bench anime only used specifically for tie breakers? When you say we can swap up to 3 anime, will the total number of points gained by that anime already by automatically transferred to your team? How does the staff keep track of all the participants and winners? Is there come type of code on the side to keep track and find the winners? Just needed some clarification. Thanks in advance |

| > First time player < I had to read the introduction thread 3 times to totally get what this is about since I'm not very familiar with fantasy / RP games :P But oh well, to the top 20 I go! :3 |

OneNaughtyBear said: So basically, we just add anime under our currently watching list, and we get points by the amount of people watching them and posting in the forums about that particular anime? It is not necessary to list any titles under your Currently Watching list. Just pick seven titles overall. The first five will be your active titles. The last two will be your bench. Are bench anime only used specifically for tie breakers? No. Their usage as a tiebreaker would only come into play if two or more teams are tied for first place at the end of the season. The main purpose of bench anime is to swap titles between bench and active. This is because each week when points are tallied, you only get that week's points for the five titles on your active team. Choosing which titles to swap in/out and when, while being limited to one swap every three weeks, is a strategic element. When you say we can swap up to 3 anime, will the total number of points gained by that anime already by automatically transferred to your team? At the end of each week, you will always only receive that week's points for the five titles on your active team, plus the points for any aces or wildcards put into play. Swapping only affects which titles are on your active team for that week. It does not retroactively add or remove points that would have been earned for previous weeks on a week that that title was on your bench. How does the staff keep track of all the participants and winners? Is there come type of code on the side to keep track and find the winners? Just needed some clarification. Thanks in advance We use a script specially programmed to keep track, gather data, tally and allocate points. Each week we will make a results post and show details on how everything was tallied. You can see an example of a FAL season's overview with all relevant weekly links here. |
GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPATES CX!! I HOPE YALL WIN!! |

| First-timer here. Can we designate an ace right away for week 1? If so do we just PM the bot again with our ace after PMing our signup? (What's the format for PMing an ace designation?) |
chagrined said: First-timer here. Can we designate an ace right away for week 1? If so do we just PM the bot again with our ace after PMing our signup? (What's the format for PMing an ace designation?) Title: Ace Body: Name of the anime of your team. I suggest that you wait a few minutes before the deadline to send your aces unless it's far ahead in score compared to your other anime. Also remember that your ace must be in the active team and must not surpass the 45k+ currently watching so it's better to use the most popular in your team for the first weeks. And make sure that you spell it correctly (copy+paste will do the work) or the ace will be considered invalid |

| Thanks! |
| if you wanna do a sawp between your active and bench anime, instead of using the title ace, you put the title swap bench anime and the first anime is the one you want to take from the active team to the bench team, and the second anime the one on your bench like this: Title: Swap Body: Drifters Keijo |

Hopefully I actually registered correctly and I'll be all set now. XD |
| Good luck to anyone who is participating ^-^ |
| @Xykko , @chagrined Most of your questions are answered here. Bench swaps are done via this thread -> Bench Swap Thread Which will become available once the season starts. |
| Quick question about registering. Do I need to look out for a message from FALbot confirming my registration, or was I already registered as soon as I sent that message to FALbot? |
| @yurkin Ah, okay, thanks! |
| Registration for FAL Fall 2016 has now ended! If you missed the registration for this season, don't worry. We'll be back for another FAL season in Spring 2017. Hope to see you then! |
