The Points system Block (Ten to follow)
How does the points system work?
For the 2022-23 Jumps Ten To Follow game, Tote will take 10% commission on each Paid Competition entry to go towards providing the free competition prizes and a small way towards covering the costs of operating the competition. All remaining money collected will be redistributed as prizes.
The highest scoring Stable at the end of the competition will win 60% of the season win prize pool (as calculated below), with additional prizes for second (2nd) to tenth (10th) place finishes. In addition, the highest scoring Stable in each of the calendar months of December 2022, January 2023, February 2023, and March 2023 will be awarded a prize of 3% of the total net pool after the Tote has deducted its 10% commission.
The pool will be guaranteed at a minimum of £100,000 in stakes from paid entries. If the value of paid entries is below £100,000 after the competition closes for entries, Tote will contribute the difference to total £100,000 in stakes for the purposes of the prize pool.

How can I tell how many points I've scored
Should more than one Stable score the same winning score, the stables will be ordered in the order they were purchased (or in the case of free stables, submitted) with the earliest timestamp gaining precedence. This is designed to reward those who engage early.
Note: you can make unlimited changes to your stable after you’ve paid for it, but before the deadline.

- For the 2022-23 Jumps Ten To Follow game, Tote will take 10% commission on each Paid Competition entry to go towards the costs of operating the competition. All remaining money collected will be redistributed as prizes.
- The highest scoring Stable at the end of the competition will win 60% of the net prize pool (as calculated below), with additional prizes for second (2nd) to tenth (10th) place finishes .
- In addition, the highest scoring Stable in each of the calendar months of December 2022, January 2023, February 2023, and March 2023 will be awarded a prize of 3% of the total net pool after the Tote has deducted its 10% commission.
- The pool will be guaranteed at a minimum of £100,000 in stakes from paid entries. If value of paid entries is below £100,000 after the competition closes for entries, Tote will contribute the difference to total £100,000 in stakes for the purposes of the prize pool.
- The Season Win Pool is calculated as follows:
- 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 Saturday 12th November 2022. 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 between March 6th and March 13th 2023. 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 13th March before the horse can score points for your Stable.
- These rules are issued by TDCO Limited, 6th floor, 6 Kean Street, London, WC2B 4AS, trading as “Tote”.
- TDCO Limited reserves the right to amend or alter these terms and conditions.
- Please bet responsibly – for help and advice please see the responsible gambling pages on our website and/or visit www.gambleaware.co.uk.
Why can’t I see my stables in the Your Stables section?
In high traffic periods it can sometimes take up to 20 minutes for permed Pro Mode stables to process and appear in Your Stables after initial creation. This is to maintain site performance. Please allow for this delay and contact us if you still cannot view your stables.
