Corrected entry: In the finals, when White eliminates Peter but was over the line, wouldn't being over the line cause White to be kicked out of the game and thus giving Average Joe's the win, and not force a sudden death?
Correction: I feel like this is more of a question than a plot hole. Regardless, the referee called for sudden death... so it went to sudden death.
Continuity mistake: When Ben Stiller goes to the girl's house in the white suit - she slams his head into the wall and a blood/makeup stain shows up...when the camera angle changes the stain is gone. (00:42:05)
Peter La Fleur: Are you sure that this is completely necessary?
Patches O'Houlihan: Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?
Peter La Fleur: Probably not.
Patches O'Houlihan: No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.
Question: Why did the treasure chest given to them at the end have "Deus Ex Machina" written on it?
Chosen answer: "Deus Ex Machina" means "God out of the machine." It's from Greek plays, wherein a god would appear at the end of the story to solve a problem. Nowadays it basically means that a totally new plot element appears out of nowhere and solves everything. It's an easy (and cheap) way out.

Correction: As explained earlier in the film, a double-fault results in Sudden Death. Dwight had already illegally hit Kate with a ball, so stepping over the line was his second offense.
