Examples of Acceptable Trickery:
- Personal favorite: The team that set up a fake roadblock claiming to be race officials, and would not let teams go until they had sung a Britney Spears song on the street. This is totally acceptable if you can lie that well.
- Locking up another team's cart with a bike lock, and then giving the key to the nearest volunteer (who can unlock the cart after an appropriately embarrassing amount of time, assuming the team hasn't figured out a way to defeat the lock)
- Relocating another team's unguarded cart and notifying a volunteer where you hid it (Volunteers can keep secrets as long as necessary)
- Finding a way to non-permanently gum up the wheels of another cart – Vaseline?
- Sending over a team of supermodels, male or female, to distract them.
- Silly String, as long as it is not pointed up someone’s nose.
- Normal water guns – filled with water, NOT hot sauce, or liquor, or chocolate milk, but water.
- Anything that won't delay the other team more than an hour (especially if it's funny)
- Locking up another cart, then throwing the key down the nearest sewer grate (or other irretrievable location)
- Chopping off the hands of other team members so they can't push their cart
- Starting a fight with another team to delay their departure.
- Planting illegal substances in another cart and flagging down a cop
- Setting off explosive devices in another cart.
- Water balloons, ketchup packets, high velocity Super Soakers, etc...
- Anything that could hurt someone
