Would win
Whenever the alarm rang, the four contestants had to drink water and other members had to try and displace them from their respective horses.
The one who stayed till the end would win the task for their team.
I read it at or on ( which one Shoud I use?) Rediff.com. Please explain to me the use of "would" here?
Thanks

"at" and "on" are both OK there. From the limited context you provide, I thought at first that "would" was describing what regularly happened in the past. However, looking at the full source, it seems that this may have been a game played only once, in which case "would" is presumably future-in-the-past.
