I actually participated at this contest for Millersville University. Social engineering was allowed. I must admit, I have not yet read the article but members of the Hacker/Red team would often walk around the room and try and to watch what people were doing. A few times they even stopped and tried to get information out of us. However, they had to leave our team area when asked. Our team actually left sheets with the wrong passwords on the tables in hopes that they would waste their time.
