You absolutely do not have to enter the tournament you host. In fact, it is recommended not to, as it allows you to focus on only one task and make sure not to make mistakes. Plus, if you win your own event, it looks suspicious or unfair, especially to parents who might be spectating.
An event is ranked or unranked based on the number of
players. So, if there are seven participants + you but that you are not playing in the tournament, then there are only seven players and the tournament is unranked.
