Fantasy Anime League Rule Clarifications

This is my first time participating in FAL and I have a couple of questions.

Firstly, the Ace. It states that you can only Ace a show once each and that the Ace is only successful if it scores the most points that week. Let's say that one week I Ace something, i'm right, and then the next week that same show still is giving me the most points. If I Ace the show that will give me the next largest amount of points, is this a successful Ace since it received the most points out of the shows I am eligible to Ace? So on and so forth for weeks 3,4, etc...?

Secondly, in regard to swaps and Aces, am I correct in my understanding that I can use these at any point before scores are tallied for the week? Even up until 5 minutes before? If so, is there any reason or penalty preventing me from doing so? It seems waiting until just before is most logical.

Lastly, in regard to shows that started before FAL (aka before Oct 2) not receiving points for their week 1 forum posts, you do still get points for the watchers correct? In other words, if I had a show on my active that started before Oct 2nd, I can get the "users watching" points for week one and then swap it out in the next week with a show that will get full forum points since it aired after the start of FAL?

If these questions could be answered it would be very helpful. Thank you.

Hi hi! I am confused on the Ace. So I aced "Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!" and it was successful, so, it is still my highest scored in active. Since that means I can't pick that anime again will I be able to successfully select another thats in my active or do I have to make Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!
inactive since it has the most watched in my active?
I tried to make it make sense Im sorry its confusing, but thanks you to anyone who can help! 💞

You have to make Kage inactive, or wait until it hits 85k watching (which is unlikely for this week). I would not advise making Kage inactive though because that would make you lose a lot of points and waste a valuable swap later down the road when the season is still early. You just don't ace this week.

You don't have to ace every week btw. It really depends on the situation.
