So, at a small local race this weekend one corner had been taped by wrapping the tape around a small rock, then simply placing said rock in the midle of the trail. The result being that the tape sat ~ 6" off the ground and was quite easily hoppable. I was one of two people to hop the tape in my race, for which I incurred a great deal of heckling (and damn right too. I'd have done the same to my buddy). It seems people were split on whether the line was fair game. At no point did I contact the tape. At no point did I touch the ground outside of the tape.
Obviously, at a more significant race one would hope the course would be taped better so as to prevent this, but basically I want bragging rights over my buddies, so I'm posing this to the monkey community...
