I wonder if perhaps finding the "Guardian" is a purpose of the tournament, with the winner becoming the Guardian. Perhaps the reason Cinder et al are participating is so one of them can become the Guardian and cause the downfall of the kingdoms. It would not surprise me if Ruby is later identified as the True Guardian, assuming that one of Cinder's Minions wins the Tournament and then uses their position to betray the kingdoms.
