Some Help with Powerplay please !

I started powerplay and i wanted to ask a question.Before the end of the first week you can easily get over 750 merits.So after week 1 my rank will go to rank 2 only ? what about the merits ? I 've read somewhere that some are transfered over the next week.Anybody know the formula.Lets say that i manage to get 1000 merits the first week , how many will i have in the beginning of the second week ?
 
Whatever you have at the end of the week will be your rank for the following cycle. If you get 10000 before this cycle ends you will be max rank. If you get 1000 this week, each following cycle that specific 1000 is halved. I'm not sure how long before that 1000 would be gone, but think it is 4 weeks.

So if you earn 1000 merits each week it would look like this:

Week 1: 1000 merits
Week 2: 1000 merits + 500 merits (week 1's) = 1500 merits
Week 3. 1000 merits + 500 merits (week 2's) + 250 merits (week 1's) = 1750 merits
Week 4: 1000 merits + 500 merits (week 3's) + 250 merits (week 2's) + 125 merits (week 1's) = 1875 merits

I'm pretty sure week 1's would drop off on week 5, but not positive!
 
-No, your rating will go to whatever you qualify for at the tick Thursday morning, so in the case of 750, Rating 3.

-Half are carried over from each week. While this seems simple, as you go on you receive re-halved portions of multiple preceding weeks back 3 weeks (1/2 of last week's, 1/4 of the week prior, 1/8 of the week prior to that) so it becomes a little more complex in the long term. To answer your last question directly, you'd have 500 if you've only done one week. There's a handy merit calculator to figure it out beyond that: http://athrael.net/content/ed/mc/
