The Championship has more prediction deadlines than the top divisions in this hub. Prepare gameweeks in sensible batches, but check them again when exact kickoff times are confirmed. A dependable reminder pattern matters more than a long message every round.
Treat midweeks as full gameweeks
Give Tuesday and Wednesday programmes their own clearly named round, first-kickoff deadline and reminder. Do not hide them inside the previous weekend. The short turnaround makes a separate reminder useful even for players who entered the weekend round.
Make the long season approachable
A straightforward score-prediction format is sustainable across 46 rounds. Weekly tables keep players involved even if the overall leader opens a gap, and paper entries can sit in the same gameweek rather than forcing an organiser to maintain another spreadsheet.
Keep a clear season policy
Cover missed weeks, rearranged fixtures, tied season totals and organiser corrections in the rules shared with every player. Apply the same written rules through the busy winter and Easter periods. ScoreSocial is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the EFL.
