101 ways to get kicked out of a competition

I'm fairly certain there aren't any clothing requirements for ExpDes. To be fair, I normally wore pants anyways because of Crime.

CONTEXT: The experiment was based entirely around HCl, so the proctor thought it was inappropriate to be wearing shorts

If that was the case, the proctor probably should've read the event parameters in the rules: "Students must bring goggles... Chemicals that require other safety clothing will not be used."

\
That event wasn't being run particularly well, IMO. Supplies were low, and everything about it was a bit messy, so I can't say I'm shocked if that rule was overlooked...

327. Show up with a textbook as a resource

328. Play with WD-40 torches in homeroom, write profanity on the classroom whiteboards (and don't erase it), drive staple gun staples into the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom, and so much more. A few members did all this two years ago and we got an angry email, a one-year ban from the Solon Invitational, and two in-school suspensions given by our school principal

331. Call 911 and tell them that there are crazy adults holding hundreds of students captive in a building
332. Put your phone to your ear during an event and audibly say:
"haha yeah I wasn't sure about that question - im googling it right now... the proctors don't suspect a thing!"
333. Show up to an event with face paint on and a football jersey, shouting "WHO'S READY TO RUMBLEEE?!!"
334: Call the procture over and tell them you're having trouble with a problem. When they come over, point at the line for your name at the top of the page and say "They didn't say they were going to test us on my name in the manual!"
335. Show up to the competition in a tuxedo and pointed hat, and throw finger guns at anyone who makes eye contact with you.
(Shouldn't get you kicked out, but will get the competitiors REALLY uncomfortable)
(Bonus points if you try it on the proctor)
(Even more bonus points if you wear sunglasses)

336. Forgetting which hand your wristband is on

337. Filming your own building event run (4 real though, they can and will kick you out if you even film your own device. It happened to my dad at states last year and we almost got DQed)

338. Have all the bottle rocket eggs freeze, (In northern Wisconsin or someplace cold as pigeon)

339. Throw Gummy bears out the window of the team bus, and hit another car. (This legit happened to our team last year)

340. When your team stays at the La Quinta at states, and some kid does a Ninja Roll in the lobby and breaks a hotel lamp. (Also happened for my team)

341. Create a Cheese Head Blackmarket at Swap. (b/c Wisconsin is the best )

342. Get too engaged while playing Drive Ahead at the Nationals Tournament Awards Ceremony, that you miss you're que for medaling at Road Scholar, and have your coach shake you out of it.

342. Have your bottle Rocket drift into private property and then "hop the fence" (happened to me)

343. Slip on black ice while carrying an air Trajectory machine. (happened to me)

344. Get more than 10 bowling balls stuck in the ally after nationals. (My friends and i were pretty stupid)

345. Beat your head coach in bowling.

346. Get Lost in the dungeon Basement of UW Oshkosh

347) Lick the halite sample in order to see if it is salty

348. Forget that you need long sleeves for Forensics and have to run back as fast as you can to the cafeteria where your team is camped out in order to beg your friend to borrow his sweat jacket and end up almost being late. (Okay, so technically if you make it you don't get kicked... it's more the concept. And yes, this happened- I was the friend.)
349. Realize that your goggles for Chem Lab aren't actually vented and thus don't meet the regulations in the rules, thus having to do the last 10 minutes or so of the test sweating beads and barely being able to see the test because the goggles are so fogged up and you don't want to wipe them off and reveal that they're not quite up to standard. (Haha...haha... but who puts those in the same pile as the vented ones anyway? It's not my fault, right? Right?)
350. Leave your goggles on the desk for Chem Lab, but then proceed to walk over to your partner who is doing the lab anyway, right in front of the proctor. (Yes, happened, and I couldn't point it out to them. Somehow the proctor didn't realize.)
351. Realize you didn't technically disable the wifi on the laptop you're using for Astro. (We didn't have wifi anyway, so it didn't end up mattering. The team diagonal from us, however, apparently did, judging from their chatter.)

352. Bring a paper bag, blow it up, and pop while they give out awards.
353. Take selfies with the volunteers during your events.
