How to Get Thrown Out of a Game

There are as many different ways to get thrown out of a game as there are games to be played. In all cases either a participant or a spectator is breaking a rule to be tossed. Some offenses are as small as trash talking, while others come close to criminal offenses in the outside world. The general rule of thumb is to use common sense to avoid being thrown out of any game.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Talk trash to an opposing poker player, and the rules say you can be sent packing. Poker is a game of concentration and bravado so many players' boasts and bluffs skirt the line. However if a dealer senses things getting out of hand, he has the right to punch a player's ticket.

2. Interfere with a game being played from the sidelines, and you will find yourself in the locker room. Just ask former Indiana Basketball Coach, Bobby Knight. In 1985, Knight disagreed with a referee's call so much he tossed a folding chair across the court and was immediately ejected.

3. Fight with another player, and you'll also be asked to leave. Except for hockey, taking a swing at an opponent will result in being thrown out. Some of the most famous fights have happened on the baseball diamond, where bench-clearing brawls are less common than they used to be.

4. Cork your baseball bat. This will get you tossed off the diamond. Corking occurs when a player hollows out a portion of his bat to make it lighter, giving the batter an unfair advantage.

5. Sneak into a seating area you are not allowed to sit in and you will be escorted past your original seat and to the parking lot. Even professional ballplayers trying to catch a courtside game, such as Luke Walton in 2005, can get kicked out of games for doing this.
