• In addition, the highest scoring Stable in each of the calendar months of December 2024, January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025 will be awarded a prize of 3% of the total net pool after the Tote has deducted its 10% commission.

• Should more than one Stable score the same winning score, the Stables will be ranked in the order they were purchased (or in the case of free Stables, submitted) and the earliest submission will be awarded the prize. The selections within each Stable can be changed freely up until the competition closes for entries at 11am on Friday 15th November 2024. For the avoidance of doubt, each Stable will be timestamped when it is paid for (or in the case of free Stables, initially submitted), and not when any selections are subsequently made or Stables otherwise amended.
• For the purpose of calculating the monthly prizes, every Stable score is set to zero at the start of each month (this will not affect the accrual of Stable points for the purpose of the season long competition).
• Winners will be paid directly into their tote accounts, where the balance can be withdrawn using the normal withdrawal process.

Smart Pick

• The ‘Smart Pick’ auto-fill algorithm is intelligently designed to select the best horses to help maximise points for your Stable. The algorithm considers a range of data points to help calculate suggested picks for your Stable according to an historically optimal balance as used by previous high-scoring Stables in previous Competitions. Whether you just want the algo to pick 1, 2, or up to all 10 horses, it will pick a balanced Stable of horses optimised to score the most points across the season.
• The ‘Smart Pick’ feature is designed as a tool to aid in the selection of your stable, but is no guarantee of performance and we accept no liability in this respect. You are responsible for your own decision with regards the submission of any Stable entries. Whilst we have provided details on the potential benefits of the Smart Pick functionality we do not and will not provide any formal advice in relation to a Stable in the Paid Competition or Free-To-Play Competition (together the “Competitions”). You must rely on your own judgement in deciding to enter a Stable into the Competitions.

General Rules

• You can monitor your entry online (either at www.tote.co.uk/ten-to-follow or www.tote.co.uk/ten-to-follow/racing-post), where an updated leaderboard will display the highest scores in both the Free-to-Play Competition and the Paid Competition at any given time.
• You will have the opportunity to make online substitutions during a transfer window, which will open from 11am Monday 3rd March to 5pm Monday 10th March 2025 to coincide with the start of the Cheltenham Festival. A maximum of two (2) substitutions per Stable will be permitted. We reserve the right to modify the list of horses available for selection at any point during the competition.
• Stables only score points for horses while they are active in their Stable. If Horse A is substituted from a Stable and replaced with a new Horse B, the Stable retains the points already scored by Horse A while Horse A was part of the Stable but earns no further points in respect of Horse A following substitution, and Horse B only begins to start scoring points for its new Stable once that substitution is complete. The Stable does not inherit points already scored by Horse B while it was outside the Stable.
• A horse will be eligible to score points for your Stable as soon as the substitution is complete. The Substitution window does not need to close on 10^th March 2025 before the horse can score points for your Stable.
• These rules are issued by TDCO Limited, 6^th floor, 6 Kean Street, London, WC2B 4AS, trading as “Tote”.
• TDCO Limited reserves the right to amend or alter these terms and conditions.
