This message is a reminder of a couple things. Some weren't explicitly stated in the OP, but are undoubtedly a form of cheating in this tour.
1) You must sign up in this thread before you start laddering! If we find out that you were laddering on an account before posting to this thread you will be dq'd from that cycle.
edit: if you goobered up this cycle and just "forgot" (intentionally or not), then post as soon as you see this and put a screenshot of your /rank in the post.
2) I really shouldn't have to say this, but...
Do not take any action to artificially boost your ladder ranking. This includes trying to avoid playing a battle against a friend (in that case you're both boosting).
I'm leaving both these as open ended as possible so they cover the future cases that might pop up.
To help police this tour, I'm going to restart the Mono Ladder Bot and have it join the ladder tour matches.
If you're caught cheating, you will be banned from the Monotype room and from participating in any Monotype events that are hosted through Smogon (at least any that I have control over) for at least 1 year.
