Something like: "Team A would like to upvote Team B for Chairman's. This is because Team B has been caught in the following acts of Chairman's behavior by Team A members: [short list of why Team A thinks Team B should be the Chairman's winner]." Throw it in the judges' stack along with Team B's submission. Judges can see who the other teams think should win Chairman's at that event. (At District Championships and Championships, this might be a bit unwieldy unless you trim down the field of potential submitters a bit.)

There may not be an official process for it, but I know of cases where this has happened before. Basically, Team A would express support for Team B during their (Team A's) own Chairman's presentation.
