How does XBL know who in the top 64 will be legit? They cannot tell between boosters, and others who match up against eachother?

I'm a 19 in H2 Challenge, been playing alot for the past three days, And today when i got that high, i started to notice that alot of the higher ranks now know eachother, or are in the same clans..
The last game i played there was a 25, some 19's and 20's also, out of the 8 people in that game, 3 were in the same clan, and 2 were in another same clan. and only I and the other two randoms have not played against eachother....(one of the randoms also got host, and apperently "lagged" when he was in 7th, up to 1st.. then the lag settled.

How is it possible to have a tournament on XBL for Halo2, the most cheated game, legitly?
What if some of the top people didnt register? They cheated(in whatever way) to get higher ranks, and didnt sign up? how does that effect other competitors?

(Edit) Btw: If people boost, and its against the rules, then the people that are playing legit will lose, im pretty sure ill make it to the top 64, but if every1 else up at the top is cheaing in one way or another, i probably will lose rank, down and out of the top 64...

We can only hope that the xbox live team has a good judgement of letting certain people into the tournament. I know that when I manage to get into the top 64 most of the others who did were not legit, so the rest of the tournament shouldn't be too tough. All that I can say for sure is, there is going to be a lot more cheating happening in the H2 playlist than in the rest of the playlists because having a high rank will actually amount to something.

Still, if i only/mostly get matched against boosters/cheaters, i will inevitably not be able to reach the top 64....
w/e though, im pretty sure ill be up there.

also Legend, The highest lvl ive seen is a 25.

Yea all the high rank players in H2 Challenge know each others since they always play with each others, i know probably most people that is above level 20. Any yea theres couple clans out there just for the new playlist like im in the H2 Challenge clan

hey tc

its only the top 64 registered players.
if you dont register then u simply are playing for no reason.

someone could be a lvl 40 or something in halo2challange but not have registered so...
he just wasted his time.
it doesnt really affect the other registered players
