The only thing that I can think of would be enabling yourself prematurely, or keeping yourself enabled after the match is over. However, either of these would be pretty easy for someone to spot if you gave yourself more than half a second. And, as I pointed out above, you don't need to modify firmware (and it's much less risky!) to accomplish either of these.
