Actually, yes. I think all these are quite possible -- and may have happened 
in the past, which might be why earlier tournaments were so dangerous.  But 
it's probably not well know, and if responsible people like Dumbledore have 
their way, never will be.

Also, the things which the Goblet *would* have rejected, such as a second 
candidate from the same school, were dealt with -- as Dumbledore suspected 
and Crouch Jr. confirmed (I think) -- by Crouch/Moody's confusing charm.
