Check the official LaLiga calendar announcementAllow for a spread-out matchday
LaLiga games can occupy several kickoff windows. A single deadline before the first included match is clearest and prevents players gaining information from an earlier result. Recheck the official calendar before opening predictions.
Use clear English instructions
Retain the official competition calendar as the authority, then give the group its deadline and rules in plain English. Name each round by its official matchday number so players can compare the two sources easily.
Set up a fair 38-matchday season
Choose the scoring method before matchday one and retain it. Weekly results keep each round meaningful, while the full standings reward reliable participation. Organiser-entered paper picks can join the same gameweek before its deadline.
Plan rather than improvise
Your rules should cover postponed matches, altered kickoff times and missed deadlines. Announce updates to everyone and preserve a clear correction record. ScoreSocial is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LaLiga.
