What you have discovered is the battle between ethics, particularly those who don't exhibit it, and "Gracious Professionalism".

I know this answer is going to stink, because I don't care for it myself, but all you can do is point out to your students that what the other team did was unethical in that it was a knowing violation of the rules.

It's a tough trade-off between winning at all costs and instilling an ethical mindset in the students.

Hopefully, this helps. At least you can realize that you are not alone.
