responsibility and behave in a certain way which
follows the rules and the expected behaviors of the

Cheating

the people who are in charge of the sport.

they can still be punished later.

 Examples of cheating: Diving, fouling, match fixing.


Gamesmanship

 This is when players don’t break the rules, but they try to bend
the rules in a way that doesn’t show much etiquette or
sportsmanship to gain an advantage.
