Spring 2022 Week 1: Ace/Swap Reminder & Discussion

I just have a question as this is the first time participating. I read the rules but I still don't really understand how it works.

Especially swapping.

Like right now everyone has 5 anime active, and 3 inactive(bench), if you swap anime 3 from active with anime 7 from bench right now, what happens at the end of week 1?
1) do you get all the points in week 1 from anime 3, and the swap is only effective for the next week
2) do you get all the points in week 1 from anime 7, and the swap is effective immediately, and retro-actively (is that the correct word, I don't know)
3) do you get the points in week 1 from anime 3 up until swap, and from anime 7 after swap. The swap being effective immediately, but not retro-actively.

Do we have time until sunday 22:00 GMT to choose our Ace for week 1? Or until when does it have to be logged in?

Charenji said:
At the latest at 21:59 GMT (on Sunday).

Great questions as this is my first time taking part in the FAL as well. Will be watching for a response.

you get all points from anime 7. a swap is instantly applied for that week, so option 2. i played last season and that was how it was

We can only "Ace" a show once, but can you change your Ace multiple times in the same week?
If I pick a show today as my ace, can I change it tomorrow before the timer runs out?

I don't know if I'm stupid but there's something I don't understand. It's said if you guess the ace correctly, 20000 points will be given. Will these points be added to the anime or to your points? There are 2 points right? (One is the anime and other for the users) or am I completely wrong?

Example: anime "A" has 10000 users watching and 5000 points. Are these 5000 points your points?

I also have a question regarding the Ace: once you choose an Ace does it
- stay an Ace (multiple weeks) until it either has too many watchers or you choose a different one or
- it is only an ace for that one week you chose it, and then next week you have to choose a different ace (or no ace at all)?

5000 points are the points you will earn this week. If you aced correctly you will get 20,000 points so the total would be 25,000. You can check "Points Criteria" for better understanding of how points are counted (rules).
