269) Argue loudly with the event supervisor if any questions on the test require calculations, claiming that "this is SCIENCE Olympiad, not MATH Olympiad." Do the same if any history questions are asked.
270) Superglue the classroom door shut.
271) Remotely hack the event supervisor's computer, download and print off the answer key, and put it in your binder or on your cheat sheet.
272) Offer to trade weed for a first place with the event supervisor.
273) Wear flip flops, swimming trunks, and a swim shirt to lab events.
274) Bring a golden retriever to all the lab events.
275) Draw Satanic symbols all over your test.

Variation on #259, we hijack the A/V equipment in the classroom we're assigned at regionals. We play league of legends on the projector, or we pass around the aux cord and play music as loud as possible. We've had teams walk by with the what-the-pigeon-is-going-on-in-there look

These all actually happened:
263: Wear a shirt with useful information on it (the kid had to flip his shirt around in the end so he couldn't see it)
264: Have flaps on your cheat sheet so you can cram extra information on it (ended up having to put cheat sheet on ground and couldn't touch)
265: Follow your main competitiors to their next event and stare at them for extended periods of time
266: Look at another students test and loudly proclaim "HA! They got number 4 wrong!"

267. First, intentionally set off the fire alarm before events start (better yet, start an actual fire by burning another team's building). Everyone will leave the competition site. Then, steal the answer keys to every study event in the panic. Leave notes in the places that you stole the answer keys that say "Where is your answer key now!?!? -[your real name and a signature]" Hack into the announcement system. Make sure that it is loud as possible. Say: "This is [insert your name], with a very important announcement. You can now buy answer keys from me at [insert your precise location, preferably at the competition site basement] for 100 dollars each." When tournament officials show up to bust you, say "no, I am not [insert your name], I am...um...uh... [insert your name]'s twin!" As they take you off somewhere to question you, suddenly bolt off in another direction. Yell "freedom!!!" loudly or something of the sort.

I'm pretty sure this is what happened at Gopher.
