If while pushing your car to the design event you snap a tie rod, lose two wheels, catch fire, and use more than 26 litres of per 100km you may get disqualified. Apart from that I think that the only way you could get disqualified for a static event is making up stuff in the cost report.
I'd like to edit Richards' statement:
"...is getting caught making up stuff in the cost report."

In the pursuit of quality information, the only ways to get "disqualified" from static events are to 1. not submit a cost report. This results in a 100 point penalty for cost (why some teams have a negative score overall) lying on the cost report AND getting caught will result in a penalty, not a DQ. 2. You can be "disqualified" from design for not submitting a design report. There is no point penalty, and you still get to compete, you just won't get to score points for design or get reviewed by the judges.You can't get DQ'd from Sales Presentation, and the only other static "event" is tech inspection (it's in the rules). BTW, reading the rules will answer most of these kinds of questions about how the event itself works.

smoking in the fuel station whilst refuelling.. nah, done that
bringing the same car three years running.. nah, done that
arguing with scrutineers.. nah, done that
I agree with Pat.. asking stupid questions

Actually I was on a team that showed up to design without a car once, and we were not disqualified, no surprise we didn't do very well though. Things really didn't improve much when the car showed up though
It was first group in the mourning and the car was waiting in line at the scales when our time slot for design judging started. Many reasons we didn't do well that year, all of which were our (my) fault.
Maybe best to get Claude high on crack, create a little more even playing field.
Make sure you know the modulus of elasticity of your crack.

Not passing percy or having a wing a bit backwards... on the enduro.....
off course, all of them while high on crack.
