Seriously the #1 guy didn't matter cause I got as high 1753 twice and I thought I had catch 1767 or I would have stopped
 
Yeah I have complaint cause I would have made it if I had known Norton account didn't count as I took it as face value it was registered. Here proof of me being 1753 against Chen qt who privates matched

You can check with one click if the user made a sign up post or not. Click on the leaderboard ranking and you can see the messages with the ladder prefix. It's your job as a player to check the sign ups+ it was mentioned in some chats and you could ask me all the time. The cut off ist just at 1746, because Green and Yuji lost their last game. Yuji, Green, and I played games in the same time 20 mins before the deadline (#3,#4,#5), and all were above the 1753 as far as I remember.

EDIT: Seems like that the leaderbord ranking method is a bit buggy. If you want to check whether a user is registered, go to the sign up thread and type the accountname w/o prefix into the search bar, just I did in the screenshot below. I got the leaderboard screenshot around 30 mins before the dl, which shows that 1753 wasn´t enough at that time.
