**Analyzing the Target Word "Players" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the word I'm working with is "players," and the context screams sports – we've got "sport spirit," "violent game," "team of the lawbreaker *players*," the mention of Real Madrid, and a referee. That's a pretty clear signal. My mental database is already sorting through possible senses of the word.

Let's see, a "player" could be an important participant in general, like a key figure, but that feels too broad for this specific context. An "actor" is off base, and "musician" is definitely wrong. Then there's the social/sexual partner sense, but that's obviously not relevant here.

That leaves us with the fifth sense: a person who participates in or is skilled at some game. Given all the contextual clues, that's undeniably the best fit. The sentence "because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players" hinges on the number of people on a team, and the implications of reduced participation within the game. The use of "team" also suggests this sense. Makes sense, and I'm confident in the choice.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Strategy" in Football**

Okay, so the prompt is about "strategy," specifically in the context of football, and, more precisely, those instances where players get yellow or red cards on purpose, like that Real Madrid incident. My first instinct, being an expert, is to immediately dissect the possible meanings of the word.

The definitions offered focus my attention immediately. The first one is that "strategy" can be about military science. It's quickly apparent that this is absolutely *not* the relevant sense here. We're not talking about military command or war. This is a sports team; the context is entirely different. It's football, not a battlefield.

That leaves the second definition, "an elaborate and systematic plan of action" – a synonym for "scheme." *That's* the fit. The situation, what's being discussed, is a deliberate, planned move by the team or player. It's a calculated scheme to manipulate the game's rules for a future advantage in the championship. The "strategy" is the plan to clear their record, not some grand military operation. That second sense of "strategy" is spot on.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Game" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "game," specifically in the phrase "strategy for the next game." The surrounding text immediately screams football. We've got "team," "players of Real Madrid," "referee," and the concern about "cards that could threaten their participation in a future game." So, the context is definitely a football match.

My initial thoughts went to Candidate 2, "a contest with rules to determine a winner." That's a solid, general definition. However, that's too broad. Then Candidate 5 popped up: "a single play of a sport or other contest," like "the game lasted two hours." Bingo! "Strategy for the next game" clearly refers to a specific match, not the general idea of football.

To make absolutely sure, I went back and re-read the examples. Candidate 2, like "you need four people to play this game," describes the *type* of game, like bridge or tennis. Not the instance of the match. With candidate 5, we're talking about a specific instance. "The club will not be able to count on those players... for the next game" nails it. It's the match.

So, it looks like sense_key=game%1:04:03:: (sense 5) is the winner. Just to be extra certain, I went back to candidate 2. "A contest with rules to determine a winner" is the general concept of the game, like chess or football in general. Nope, it's definitely that single play, that specific match, as in "the game lasted two hours" which is absolutely the match itself. Yes, Candidate 5 fits like a glove.

**Analyzing the Concept of "Players" in a Sporting Context**

Okay, so the word I'm working with is "players." The context is Real Madrid, a soccer match, and words like "fare-play," "team," "referee," "game," "cards," and "Championship." That immediately screams "sports!" to me. No doubt about it, we're talking about athletes, not musicians or business moguls.

Now, let's consider the possible senses of "player." I could think about a musical instrument, maybe someone important in business, perhaps someone involved in social dynamics, or even a theatrical performer. But let's see... the most obvious fit here is clearly sense number five: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." Synonyms like "participant" really nail it down. Given the entire context provided, this is the only sensible interpretation and that’s the definition I'll choose to use.

**Analyzing the Semantic Sense of "Advantage"**

Okay, so the target is "advantage," and the surface form matches. This is about soccer players manipulating card accumulation for strategic suspension, so I'm looking for the specific sense of "advantage" in this context. The sentence is, "...The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase... without cards..."

My initial candidate senses are: 1. "benefit resulting from some event or action", 2. "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position", and 3. (tennis-specific). Obviously, sense 3 is out, and I immediately lean towards Sense 1 or 2.

The key phrase is "what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out." It's clear they are *gaining* something from their actions. My first instinct aligns with Sense 1, as the definition is a "benefit resulting from some event or action." A reward, if you will.

Now, let's drill down. Sense 2 describes a "superior or more favorable position." That could work, but does it really capture the essence of *obtaining* something? It's not a disadvantageous situation for the rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, but more importantly, the specific wording "advantage the violators obtained" and "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that..." strongly points to a *benefit*.

The text directly states "obtained benefit." That is a dead ringer for "benefit resulting from some event or action." Sense 1 nails it.

**Analyzing "Fact" in Context**

Okay, so the target is the word "fact" in the phrase "the fact that...". The context is about a strategic advantage in a championship, specifically the fact that players will begin without cards. My initial thought is that "fact" here introduces something true or actual. Let's delve into the senses. I'm considering a few candidates: a provable concept, an event, a piece of information, or a verified statement.

The phrase "in the fact that" is the key here. It seems to align best with the idea of a circumstance or event that is true. Looking at WordNet, "the fact that" often leans towards "fact%1:09:01::" (a piece of information about circumstances) or possibly "fact%1:26:01::" (an event). But let's verify with semantic links, specifically how "consists in the fact that" maps. That phrasing seems to emphasize the objective reality or circumstance, making sense 3 ("a piece of information about circumstances that exist") the strongest contender.

Is it a circumstance or an event? Maybe "consists in the fact that" often goes with "fact%1:09:01::" or "fact%1:10:01::"? I'll check some treebanks; "in the fact that" is often classified as fact%1:09:01:: (information). Sense 1 (a provable concept) seems better for scientific scenarios. Sense 2 (an event) is relevant for something like "basis in fact." Sense 4 (a verified statement) is good for "array of facts." But the context is "a piece of information".

So, sense 3 it is, as that "fact" in the phrase indicates a circumstance that exists. "The fact that..." is exactly a piece of information about a circumstance. Let me double check with WordNet 3.0, and "consists in the fact that" really hinges on the concept of circumstance. I'll re-examine those senses again. I am sure that sense 3 is better. It is "a piece of information about circumstances".

"The fact that" is about an event or circumstance? Yes, usually, it is a circumstance. I will finalize on sense 3, as it is the most general usage for this phrase. Yes, the phrase is "the fact that...". It is a piece of information about a circumstance. Done. Sense 3 it is.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Players" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the word I'm tasked with understanding is "players," and the surrounding words – "Real Madrid," "referee," "game," "team," and "Championship" – clearly establish a sports context. My immediate thought is to consider the most relevant candidate sense. The system points me to `player%1:18:01::`, which defines it as "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game" – essentially, a "participant." Sounds promising, but I'm going to look at the other options to be absolutely sure.

Let's see: we have theatrical performer, someone who plays a musical instrument, an "important" participant, the exact definition provided, and someone involved in multiple relationships. Given the specific context of the words provided, the fifth option can be immediately dismissed, as it isn't relevant here. The first two options are not directly related to the given keywords, whereas the third is close but not exact. The fourth option, the definition the system flagged, "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game," fits perfectly. Bingo! It's definitely the right sense.

Here's my thought process, as requested:

**Deconstructing "Phase" in a Championship Context**

Okay, the target word is "phase," specifically within "the following phase of the Championship." My initial instinct, as a subject matter expert, is to immediately look for the most precise definition. So, let's break down the possible meanings.

My mind immediately considers:

1.  **Astronomy:** Could it be a body's appearance based on illumination? No, that's completely irrelevant to a championship. Dismissed.
2.  **Physical Chemistry:** A distinct state of matter? Absolutely not. That's a red herring. It's a completely different field. Moving on.
3.  **General Usage:** "Any distinct time period in a sequence of events." Ah, now we're getting warmer. The "Championship" is a sequence of events, and this definition aligns with the idea of progression, a "next step." Synonyms like "stage" further reinforce this. This is looking promising.
4.  **Physics/Cycles:** A particular point in a cycle, expressed as an angle? While there could be a cyclical element to the Championship, this feels far too technical and specific to the word "phase" in this context. It's not the primary meaning I'm looking for.

Therefore, the obvious winner is definitely Candidate 3. It's the most contextually relevant and directly applicable to the tournament's structure. The use of "stage" as a synonym confirms this. "The following stage of the Championship" makes perfect sense. Therefore, that's the best definition for this context.

**Analyzing "Championship" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "Championship," and I need to figure out its meaning in this sentence. The surrounding text mentions players and a "following phase," so it's clearly related to some kind of event. My initial sense candidates are: the title itself, the competition, or perhaps an act of support, which doesn't seem likely in this case.

The phrase "phase of the Championship" is a huge clue. It's referring to something structured, with stages. Real Madrid players are involved, so it's got to be a tournament or a competition. This strongly suggests that I should go with the second sense: *a competition at which a champion is chosen.*

Let me just quickly confirm that:

1.  *Title* - This wouldn't make sense in this "phase" context
2.  *Competition* - Bingo! That fits perfectly with a phase of a tournament.
3.  *Approval/Support* - No, not relevant here.

Yes, the phrase "following phase" makes it clear, that the word refers to the competition in question, sense 2 is the most appropriate. I think I've got it.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Participation" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "participation," and the context is "...threaten their participation in a future game." Immediately, I'm thinking about the two most relevant senses. The first, a *condition* of sharing in common, like being a part of something. The second, an *act*, the active sharing of group activities. Since this is about a game, I'm leaning heavily towards the second sense already.

The context mentions players and a game. "Threaten their participation in a *future game*". That phrase is all about *playing* in the game, which directly implies an action, being *engaged* in the activity.

Looking closer at sense 1, it's about a general state or condition. The second, sense 2, aligns with the idea of actually *doing* something, which is what 'participation' means for a game, 'the act of sharing in the activities of a group', or in a simpler term: 'playing'.

Now let's bring in the WordNet hierarchy. I see that sense 1 describes a state, while sense 2 is an action. Given the game context, it's pretty clear that we're talking about the act of *playing*.  "Participation in a future game" is about actively taking part in the game. That definitely supports sense index 2. So, based on the context, word sense disambiguation favours the action sense of participation. I am confident that the second sense, the "act of sharing in the activities of a group," is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Game" in Context**

Okay, so we're looking at Real Madrid players deliberately getting carded to miss a future *game*. My initial thought is to distinguish between the abstract concept of the sport itself (like "football" or "chess" – candidate 7: a contest with rules) versus a specific *instance* of that sport (a match, a single play – candidate 2). The phrase "could threaten their participation in a *future game*" is the key.

Immediately, my intuition leans towards the single match interpretation. We are talking about missing an *event* not the sport in general. I need to be precise, as this is a specific type of ambiguity that is common in natural language.

Let's consult WordNet to be sure. It clearly differentiates between the two senses: the general game ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") and a single match ("a single play of a sport or other contest"). Looking at the examples provided by WordNet, like "the game lasted two hours" solidifies my view; the context of the sentence aligns perfectly.

Now, checking the full sentence, let's consider the full context: "...nor is an obtained benefit in the same *game* ... And neither is it a useful strategy for the next *game* ... their participation in a future *game*." Here, each instance of "game" clearly refers to a specific match, not the sport itself.

So, candidate 2 (game%1:04:03::) – the specific *match* or *play* – is definitely the correct sense here. It perfectly describes the "future game" in the sentence. The example provided "the game lasted two hours" is exactly what "participation in a future game" is referring to. Candidate 2 fits best.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Term" in Context**

Okay, the target is "term," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "term." The context provided is "But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination..." My initial thought is to analyze the phrase "long term" because that's where "term" resides within the sentence. "Long term" suggests a period of time, which, on the surface, is pretty obvious. I need to make sure I am thinking about the best sense here.

Let's see, what are the listed senses? Sense 6 stands out initially: "a limited period of time" – examples like a prison sentence or the end of a school term immediately come to mind. It seems like a pretty good fit for "long term." Sense 2, "a statement of what is required as part of an agreement," doesn't quite apply here, nor does Sense 3, "a word or expression."

Yes, "long term" is definitely referring to a period of time. So, that means Sense 6 is the best fit. Let me double-check the other senses just to be certain. Sense 1 is about math; Sense 2, the condition; Sense 3, a word; Sense 4, logic; Sense 5, architecture. These are clearly not what is meant by the text. Sense 7, full term, or gestation. No.

Okay, I'm confident. The phrase "long term" clearly means "occurring over or involving a relatively long period of time," and "term" in this context refers to that period. Sense 6, "a limited period of time," is the definitive choice.

**Deconstructing "Advantage" in the Context of Tactical Yellow Cards**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "advantage," specifically within the phrase "But it is about a long term advantage..." The context strongly suggests players are intentionally getting yellow cards to clear their disciplinary slate for the next phase of the Championship. So, we're looking at what "advantage" means in this specific scenario.

Initially, I considered a few potential senses. There's the tennis-specific definition, which is clearly irrelevant. Then, there's the broader sense of "having a superior or more favorable position," and finally, "benefit resulting from some event or action."

Given the surrounding text, the third sense feels like the most natural fit. The phrase "Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained..." immediately points toward a "benefit" derived from their actions. This is further reinforced by the text mentioning that the "advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards... But it is about a long term advantage..." We're talking about a tangible reward – the clean disciplinary slate.

Now, could sense two, "quality of having a superior or more favorable position," also apply? Potentially. In sports, an advantage often implies a more favorable position relative to the opponent. However, the text explicitly states, "it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game..." This "obtained benefit" directly parallels the "advantage" being discussed. The fact that the text is mentioning the 'obtained benefit' explicitly indicates that we are dealing with the third sense. So "long term benefit" makes the most sense.

The phrase "obtained benefit in the same game" strongly mirrors the original "what type of advantage the violators obtained" and solidly reinforces the "benefit" interpretation. This makes sense 3 the most appropriate sense of the word.

Therefore, the players are obtaining a *benefit* from their actions, a *benefit* they are working towards.

**My Analysis of "Degree" in Context**

Okay, here's how I'm thinking through this. The target word is "degree" and the phrase is "with a certain degree of indetermination." My goal is to pinpoint the correct sense of "degree" here. Let's break down my thought process:

*   **Initial Sense Recall:** I've got a few senses in mind – temperature, math (exponent), academic qualification, and a sense related to *amount*, *intensity*, or *position in a continuum*. I'm also remembering that the example given for one sense is "a remarkable degree of frankness," which sticks in my mind as a good point of reference. I am remembering that "degree%1:26:01::" has the definition of "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" and the synonym is "level". I need to keep this in mind as I try to determine the correct sense.

*   **WordNet Verification:** Time to consult WordNet for precise definitions and examples. I verify the definitions provided, particularly the distinction between senses that seem similar. I'm focusing on those relating to *quantity* and *position*.

*   **Example Comparison:** I'm carefully comparing the examples in the WordNet senses to my target phrase. "A remarkable degree of frankness" (Sense 4) is really standing out as a comparable construction because it also uses "degree of" followed by an abstract noun. I am also remembering that for Sense 6, I was given "a moderate grade of intelligence".

*   **"A Certain Degree Of" Pattern Recognition:** The "a certain degree of" construction feels key. It seems like it's a common idiom. I'm noting that the phrase "degree of" followed by an abstract noun like "frankness" or "indetermination" is often present in the `noun.state` sense.

*   **Category Check:** I pause to check the WordNet semantic files. I'm reminding myself which part-of-speech tag each sense is assigned. Is "frankness" in the correct category? Is my given example a good match?

*   **State vs. Attribute:** Time for some deep thought. I'm considering whether "indetermination" is best classified as a *state* or an *attribute*. "Indetermination" can describe an amount and a position in a continuum. However, it's more of a state, but the prompt says that 07 - `noun.attribute` - "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality".

*   **Semantic Field Analysis:** Now, I'm checking the meaning. Can "degree" mean "amount" in this context? "Degree of frankness" -> "amount of frankness". Indetermination can exist in varying amounts, a spectrum. So, "a certain amount of indetermination" is a great way to put it.

*   **"Degree of X" Collocation:** I'm trying to categorize a common pattern for collocations using "degree."

*   **Reviewing Definition:** I'm revisiting the definitions of senses again, looking for one that has the key concepts of "amount," "intensity," or "continuum" in its description. I'm also looking back to confirm the original examples to make sure they match.

*   **Lexical Memory and Corpus Check:** I'm accessing my mental lexicon, drawing on previous Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) experience. It usually seems that the "amount" sense of "degree" is more aligned with `degree%1:07:00::`.

*   **Hypernym Check:** I'm also looking at hypernyms to provide a little more context.

*   **Re-evaluating Examples:** I am reconsidering the example, "a remarkable degree of frankness," which is from Sense 4, which is in `noun.state`. I will continue to compare it to the prompt's example for Sense 6, which is "a moderate grade of intelligence".

*   **Considering the Context:** I need to keep the context in mind. Here the context is: "...with a certain degree of indetermination..." What do I think "degree" translates to in this context?

*   **The Oxford Dictionary:** I also look to a dictionary to see how they define this term.

*   **Amount vs. Position:** I'm debating, is this a *position* on a continuum? (Sense 4) Or *amount/quality* (Sense 6)? Does "indetermination" lend itself more to a continuum or an amount? I am leaning toward amount, which aligns with how I would rephrase the phrase.

*   **Final Decision:** Given the emphasis on "amount" and the clear connection to "a certain amount of indeterm

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Team"**

Alright, let's break this down. The core word here is "team." The surrounding text mentions players, a game, and even the threat of suspension. That immediately screams a sports context, doesn't it? My initial mental catalog offers two possible interpretations: a literal team of draft animals or the more likely cooperative unit we see in sports. Given the context of a "sanction game" and players, that horse-drawn wagon analogy is immediately dismissed. It's unequivocally the latter – sense number two – the sports team. No ambiguity here; the context provides a clear signal, allowing for accurate sense disambiguation. Simple as that.

**Deconstructing "First of Change"**

Okay, here's the situation: the target word is "change," and the context is that confusing phrase, "...because the team can be eliminated first of change..." Right away, my expert intuition is screaming "mistranslation!" This feels like a direct, clumsy translation of the Spanish idiom "a las primeras de cambio," which means "at the first opportunity" or "at the drop of a hat." Literally, "at the first of change."

The context—a soccer/football scenario with potential sanctions and yellow card accumulation—makes it clear the team is susceptible to an early elimination. They're "waiting for and accepting the sanction," essentially anticipating this vulnerability. So, what "change" are we actually dealing with here?

I immediately start by considering the nuances of "cambio" (change). Is it an "exchange" (like a bill of exchange) or a "gear change," as it might have originally referred to? Ultimately, the literal English "change" is the key. Let's look at the available senses in WordNet: relational difference, an event of transitioning, or the action of changing.

Which one best captures the idiom's meaning? The "first of change" is clearly literal translation, and considering idioms, the base or literal meaning tends to be the key. Is "first of change" a "first change" in the game? Like a substitution?

In that context, I'm leaning toward "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another"—WordNet sense 2. Or maybe even sense 3, "the action of changing something." "First of change" would then be the first event or action leading to a change of circumstances.

Considering the Spanish origin, "a las primeras de cambio," the idiom comes from games of cards, the first exchange of cards. Or perhaps from foreign exchange. Mapping "cambio" (exchange/change), the closest is the action of changing (sense 3) or an event of change (sense 2).

Given this is a weird literal mistranslation in English, I'm thinking about "change" in terms of *English*. The "first change" would mean the first event or alteration—WordNet sense 2.

In this context of "eliminated first of change," an *event* is what's happening.

Ultimately, "eliminated first of change" implies an event. So I'm betting on sense 2—"an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another." It fits the idiom's meaning, capturing the idea of an early, decisive moment, or a shift in circumstances leading to elimination. It's not a chance, that would be "chance", it is change.
The final choice should be 2.

**Analyzing the Intent Behind "Action" in the Context of Deliberate Cards**

Okay, so we're looking at sports players strategically getting yellow or red cards to serve a suspension before the next phase of the championship. The text uses the phrase "with this action the players fulfil a sanction game." My task is to pin down what "action" refers to here.

My initial thought is that "action" must refer to *something done*. Let's run through the candidate senses, just to be thorough. We have legal action, state of being active, important work, natural process, and the core definition I'm leaning toward: "something done" (as opposed to something said). Then we have operating part, government act, military engagement, plot events, and trait of being active.

"With this action" clearly aligns best with "something done," sense 5. We need to be precise, as in my line of work, nuance is everything. The following statements confirm this sense: "what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out" and "because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players," and "in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game".

Let's double-check. The definition of sense 5, "something done (usually as opposed to something said)," perfectly encapsulates the deliberate act of obtaining a card. There's no better fit in the other options. "Act" might sometimes be a synonym, but not here. The "deliberately carried out" aspect strongly supports "something done" and sense 5.
Therefore, it's correct to interpret "action" as "something done" (sense 5). We're good to go.

**Analyzing "Players" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "players," and the surface form is plural, "players." The surrounding text immediately screams "sports," specifically soccer given the terms like "Championship," "cards," and "sanction game." My expertise kicks in here – I can readily eliminate some potential senses.

I need to nail down the correct meaning. Let's see...

*   **Sense 1, an important participant in a deal?** No, that's completely irrelevant to this sports context. Quickly dismissed.
*   **Sense 3, a musician?** Nope, the context focuses on a game, not musical performance.
*   **Sense 4, a social or sexual partner?** Absolutely not. This is pure sports terminology.
*   **Sense 5, a theatrical performer?** Again, a huge miss in this sports environment.

That leaves me with sense **2: a person who participates in or is skilled at some game**. Bingo. Given the mention of a game, the rules, and sanctions, the text is clearly about individuals competing in a sporting event. The meaning is self-evident. It's a textbook case of word sense disambiguation, and the context nails it perfectly. The target refers to athletes.

**Analyzing the Context of "Sanction Game"**

Okay, so the target is "game" and the surface form is, well, "game". The context screams sports, specifically football – we've got "Championship", "cards", the "sanction game" itself, and even mentions of teams with fewer players. My initial thought is that "sanction game" most likely refers to a *single match*, a specific instance of play where a player is serving a suspension.

Let's quickly check the candidate senses to be sure. Sense 2, "a contest with rules to determine a winner," seems too broad; that's the *sport* itself. Sense 8, on the other hand, is promising: "a single play of a sport or other contest". We have mentions of "useful strategy for the next game" and "participation in a future game" earlier in the text, so the word game is clearly being used as a singular match/instance of play.

Okay, let's step back and compare the senses exactly. Sense 2 is the sport itself – the overarching contest with rules. Sense 8 is the *instance* of playing that contest, a match. "The game lasted two hours" or "the next game" makes it really clear; the "sanction game" is a clear match.

Alright, back to the immediate context: "fulfil a sanction game." The players are *fulfilling* something; in this case, a match in which they serve their suspension. That's a "single play of a sport or other contest". Therefore, sense index 8 is the correct sense here.

**Analyzing "Suspension" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so the target word is "suspension," and the context involves sports, specifically sanctions like yellow and red cards. The snippet mentions a "suspension by card accumulation." Right away, I'm thinking this refers to a player being barred from playing, a kind of penalty. Let's see... the senses that come to mind are: hanging something, a pause, an interruption, abeyance, a mechanical system, a chemical mixture, and finally, a temporary debarment.

In this sports scenario, the relevant meaning has to be the temporary removal of a player. The context of "card accumulation" screams "penalty" and "ban," so I can rule out the hanging, pause, mechanical, and chemical senses pretty quickly. The idea of an interruption or abeyance might fit in a general way, but it's not the most direct fit. Thinking about it more, the "debarment from a privilege" definition—sense 7—really hits the nail on the head. A suspension from a match *is* a temporary debarment, a temporary removal from the privilege of playing. Yep, that's definitely the right sense. Index 7 it is!

**Deconstructing "Accumulation" in a Sporting Context**

Okay, the task is to pinpoint the correct meaning of "accumulation" in the context of soccer, specifically in the phrase "the suspension by card accumulation takes place." My initial thought is to run through the possible definitions. Sense 1, increase by growth, doesn't immediately click. Sense 2, things grouped together, that's not quite right either, though "a collection of cards" does come to mind. But it's Sense 3, "the act of accumulating," that I'm leaning towards. The synonyms like "accrual" and "accruement" seem particularly relevant here.

Let's dig deeper. "Card accumulation," is that the *things* grouped or the *act* of gathering them? Given the sporting context, it's almost certainly the act. Usually, we refer to it as the "accumulation of cards" to signify getting more cards over time, leading to a sanction.

So, "the act of accumulating" nicely fits with the suspension. Thinking through the phrase, is "card accumulation" the "accrual of cards"? Yes, it definitely is! So, Sense 3 is the most appropriate. I can see it.

Okay, let's confirm the definition again: the act of accumulating, accrual, accruement. "Accumulation" in "card accumulation" means the gradual gathering or acquisition of cards, likely yellow cards.

Therefore, "the suspension by card accumulation takes place" really means the suspension happens because of the act of accumulating cards. I'm satisfied; Sense 3 is the best fit.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Round" in a Sports Context**

Okay, so I'm presented with "passing rounds" within the context of a football (soccer) championship, and it's clear this refers to progressing through the stages of the competition, right? I need to figure out which sense of "round" best captures this. My initial thought goes to examining various senses, ranging from cuts of beef to regular routes, but it quickly becomes obvious that the relevant senses will be related to sports or cycles.

I start by considering the possibility of a "tournament round" or a "stage of a tournament".  WordNet's "round" (sense 12), with the gloss "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive" initially seems promising, especially considering it's explicitly tagged as "sports." That's the key. This could be an inning, a bout, a turn, or – crucially for my context – a round *in* a tournament. Does it work? Yes.

I'm also considering sense 3, "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs." This seems okay, but the term "cycle" already translates to the second cycle of cards.

My reasoning is:

1.  **Context is Key:** The context is clearly a sports championship, not a culinary, geographical, or applause-related event. The presence of cards (yellow/red), sanctions, and suspensions solidify this.
2.  **Tournament Structure:** I'm aiming for a sense applicable to the phases or stages of a competition.
3.  **WordNet's Sports Sense:** WordNet's sense 12, "round, bout, turn" and its definition "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive", aligns with the idea of a "round" in a tournament. It might not be a perfect match, since a round involves *all* teams playing rather than just one team on the offensive.
4.  **Translation of "pasar de ronda":** I'm understanding that "passing rounds" may mean "advancing to further rounds." It's more of a stage.
5.  **Sense 3 is the cycle:** "Cycle" is already defined for "cycle of cards."

So, even though WordNet doesn't have a *perfect* definition for "tournament round," sense 12 – the one explicitly related to sports – is the closest and most appropriate. It covers the sports context of the sentence (Championship, players, game). I am concluding, therefore, that this sports sense is the best fit, even if it is not a perfect match.
