Final list. If you're not on this list, here's why:
1. You goofed the registration. A few of you screwed this up. The OP pretty clearly states to copy and paste the questions and leave them completely unedited. If you delete the stuff in parentheses, that's an edit, you didn't listen, you're out. I give some leeway for formatting, but other than that the instructions are clear. I get a couple of people who fall into this category every month without fail, and I wish I could say it only was from people who have never played before. Also, premium members who bypass this rule but do it anyway, I hate you.
2. You didn't make your required posts.
The overwhelming majority of you fall under this category. Some of you seem to think "Oh shit, I forgot to post three times, better do it quick before next month goes up!" The problem with that line of thinking is that those of you who did it, did it way too late. Did you forget that you were on a clock to make those posts? December posts stopped being good on December 24, and you all promised to make your posts by then. So you were past deadline on that. Oops. Some of you just plain didn't post three times, which is a little more cut and dry. Easy out. I don't care if you want to game the system by posting three times and then never again (profile posts don't count, by the way), but I suggest doing it sometime in the beginning so you don't forget. Posting three times is not all that hard. Consider it payment for these sweet prizes you're playing for! ;D
3. You are banned. A couple of you are in this category. I've been lax on formally informing people of their bans, because most people who get banned are randos who disappear mid-tourney, never to be seen again. If you think you've been banned, feel free to ask; if you are, I'll inform you how you got that way, and what you can do to lift it early (hint: post a bunch).
Friendly reminder that premium members bypass all of these requirements and can play, no questions asked. If you answer "yes" to being a premium member I literally stop looking at the rest of your post because subs are god. Buy a sub, it's worth it.
If you guys have any further questions, message me privately.

The future winner of this tournament thanks the lot of you who won't be playing because you didn't follow directions because now things are way easier. Keep in mind that this is not a ban and you are all free to sign up for February's tournament with no penalty.
Pairings will be up shortly. Apologies for the delay.
