what to do if the other alliance reneges on coop

I looked at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...t=coopertition, but didn't see any discussion of this, and I got asked this question by another team's drive coach/mentor at Gull Lake....

What is an appropriate post-match response when the other alliance reneges on their half of an agreement to do coopertition? This wasn't a "they tried and failed", but a plain old "no visible effort" (confirmed by scouts in the stands)?

My advice was to go over, smile, and ask politely "urm, what happened?", listen, smile, and walk away (at least you called them on it!), but I'm searching for a better way to handle it.

I understand that ignoring it is an alternative, but *darn*, I hate it when people don't even *try* to make their commitments....
