Target lemma: phase
Target surface form: phase
Context:
However, the paradoxical thing about the action of the players of Real Madrid is that it did not comply to what we normally characterize as legal fraud, because the violation of the rules was not made secretly as to try to avoid the sanction, but their action was most evident and thus they received punishment from the referee. They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints. Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out. Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following <t>phase</t> of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target lemma: `phase`
    *   Context snippet: "...the players will begin the following **phase** of the Championship without cards..."
    *   Broader context: The text discusses players intentionally getting sanctioned (yellow cards) in a game so they can start the *next* part of the tournament (Championship) with a clean slate (no accumulated cards threatening future games).
    *   Meaning in context: The "phase" refers to a specific stage or period within the sequence of the Championship tournament (e.g., group stage, knockout stage, next round).

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `phase%1:28:00::`
        *   Definition: "any distinct time period in a sequence of events"
        *   Synonyms: "stage"
        *   Examples: "we are in a transitional stage..."
        *   Match analysis: The context refers to a "phase of the Championship." A Championship is a sequence of events/games. The "following phase" is the next distinct time period/stage in this sequence. This fits perfectly. The tournament moves from one stage (phase) to another.

    *   **Sense 2:** `phase%1:26:00::`
        *   Definition: "(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system..."
        *   Match analysis: This is a technical scientific definition regarding matter (solid, liquid, gas). The context is sports (football/soccer). This is incorrect.

    *   **Sense 3:** `phase%1:28:01::`
        *   Definition: "a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle"
        *   Synonyms: "phase angle"
        *   Match analysis: This is a physics/engineering/mathematics definition regarding cycles and waves. The context is about a tournament stage, not a waveform cycle expressed as an angle. This is incorrect.

    *   **Sense 4:** `phase%1:07:00::`
        *   Definition: "(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination..."
        *   Match analysis: This refers to the phases of the moon. The context is sports. This is incorrect.

3.  **Conclusion:**
    *   Sense 1 is the only one that fits the general temporal/sequential meaning of a "phase" or "stage" in a process or event (like a sports tournament).

4.  **Format Output:**
    *   The user wants a JSON object: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

reasoning_content:
In this context, the word "Championship" refers to a sports competition where teams compete in phases. The passage is discussing Real Madrid players, referees, sanctions, and cards (yellow/red cards in soccer). The players are strategically receiving sanctions in one game so they can start "the following phase of the Championship without cards."

This clearly refers to a tournament or competition (like a soccer league championship or tournament), not the status of being a champion (sense 1), nor the act of providing support (sense 3).

Sense 2 - "a competition at which a champion is chosen" - is the correct meaning here. The Championship is being discussed as an ongoing competition with phases, games, and rules that teams must navigate strategically.

The answer is sense_index: 2.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the most appropriate sense of "participation" in this sentence.

The sentence is: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game."

Let me examine the two candidate senses:

1. sense_key=participation%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of sharing in the activities of a group | synonyms=engagement, involvement, involution | examples=the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities

2. sense_key=participation%1:26:00:: | definition=the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.) | synonyms=involvement

In the context, the word "participation" refers to the players' ability to take part in a future game. The context is about football/soccer players potentially missing future games due to accumulated yellow/red cards. The "participation" here refers to the players' involvement in playing the game.

The first sense refers to "the act of sharing in the activities of a group" which seems more aligned with the idea of players taking part in a game as part of a team. The example given ("the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities") relates to active participation in activities.

The second sense refers to "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)" which has more to do with having a stake or share in something, not necessarily active involvement in an activity.

In this context, the players are concerned about their ability to actively take part in future games, so the first sense seems more appropriate. The players want to avoid having yellow/red cards that would prevent them from playing in future matches - that is, they want to ensure their continued participation (their active involvement) in the games.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best match for the context.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word**: The target word is "game" (noun), appearing as "a future game" in the context.
2.  **Analyze the context**: The text discusses Real Madrid players receiving sanctions (cards) in a sports context (football/soccer). It mentions "the same game," "the next game," "future game," "Championship," "players," "referee," "sanction game," and "card accumulation."
    The specific instance is: "...without cards that could threaten their participation in a future <t>game</t>."
    This refers to a specific scheduled match or fixture in a tournament.
3.  **Evaluate candidate senses**:
    *   **Sense 1 (game%1:04:00::)**: "a contest with rules to determine a winner" (e.g., "you need four people to play this game"). This refers to the abstract concept of the activity or sport itself (like "football is a game").
    *   **Sense 2 (game%1:04:03::)**: "a single play of a sport or other contest" (e.g., "the game lasted two hours"). This refers to a specific instance or event of the sport (e.g., the game next Sunday).
    *   **Sense 3 (game%1:04:01::)**: "an amusement or pastime" (e.g., "word games"). Too general/frivolous for a professional championship context.
    *   **Sense 4 (game%1:05:00::)**: "(tennis) a division of play...". Incorrect sport (football vs tennis).
    *   **Sense 5 (game%1:23:00::)**: "the score at a particular point...". Incorrect.
    *   **Sense 6 (game%1:13:00::)**: "flesh of wild animals". Incorrect.
    *   **Sense 7 (game%1:09:00::)**: "a secret scheme...". Incorrect.
    *   **Sense 8 (game%1:06:00::)**: "game equipment...". Incorrect.
    *   **Sense 9 (game%1:04:02::)**: "occupation or line of work". Incorrect.
    *   **Sense 10 (game%1:04:04::)**: "frivolous or trifling behavior". Incorrect.

4.  **Narrow down between Sense 1 and Sense 2**:
    *   Context: "...participation in a future game."
    *   Sense 1 is the game as a type of activity/institution (e.g., "I love this game").
    *   Sense 2 is a specific occurrence/event (e.g., "I watched the game last night").
    *   The phrase "future game" refers to a specific upcoming match/event in the Championship calendar. The players want to play in that specific instance.
    *   Context clue: "the next game," "sanction game." These refer to specific fixtures.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 2 definitions in WordNet terminology.
    *   Sense 1: "a contest with rules..." (The institution/abstract).
    *   Sense 2: "a single play of a sport..." (The instance/event).
    *   In the sentence "threaten their participation in a future game", "game" refers to the specific event/match they will play in. They are not threatening their participation in the abstract concept of football, but in a specific match. Sense 2 captures the "single play" aspect.

    Wait, let me re-read the provided candidate list indices.
    1. sense_key=game%1:04:00:: (contest with rules)
    2. sense_key=game%1:04:03:: (single play)
    3. sense_key=game%1:04:01:: (amusement)
    ...

    Context phrase: "the next game", "a future game".
    "Next game" implies a specific event.
    "Single play of a sport" matches "specific event".
    Definition: "a single play of a sport or other contest".
    Example provided: "the game lasted two hours".
    The context mentions: "neither is it a useful strategy for the next game... players will begin the following phase... fulfil a sanction game".
    These are all instances of matches.
    Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

    Mapping to the output format: {"sense_index": 2}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Target**: The target word is "term" (noun). The context is "But it is about a long <t>term</t> advantage...".

2.  **Analyze the Context**:
    *   The sentence talks about a "long term advantage".
    *   The phrase "long term" acts as an adjective modifying "advantage".
    *   "Long term" refers to a duration of time, specifically a long period into the future.
    *   The preceding sentences discuss immediate consequences (cards, suspensions) vs. future consequences (starting the next phase without cards).
    *   The phrase implies a time span.

3.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses**:
    *   **Sense 1**: "a word or expression used for some particular thing". This is the linguistic sense (e.g., "technical term"). Does not fit "long term advantage".
    *   **Sense 2**: "a limited period of time". Examples: "prison term", "school term". The phrase "long term" refers to a period of time extending far into the future. This seems like the best fit. "Long term" implies "over a long period of time".
    *   **Sense 3**: "a statement of what is required as part of an agreement". Synonyms: condition. Examples: "terms of the lease". This doesn't fit "long term advantage". While contracts have terms, "long term" doesn't mean "long conditions".
    *   **Sense 4**: "any distinct quantity contained in a polynomial". Mathematical sense. Irrelevant.
    *   **Sense 5**: "one of the substantive phrases in a logical proposition". Logic sense. Irrelevant.
    *   **Sense 6**: "the end of gestation...". Medical sense. Irrelevant.
    *   **Sense 7**: "a statue...". Architectural sense. Irrelevant.

4.  **Compare and Decide**:
    *   The phrase "long term" refers to a time scale. It is effectively a compound adjective, but the head noun "term" here signifies a period of time.
    *   Sense 2 defines "term" as "a limited period of time". While "long term" suggests a potentially *unlimited* or extensive period, it stands in contrast to "short term", both referring to durations or periods of time.
    *   Let's check if "long term" is a specific fixed idiom often handled separately or if it falls under the general "period of time" sense.
    *   WordNet (Princeton) usually handles "long term" (adj) or "long-run". However, as a noun appearing in the phrase "long term", it modifies "advantage".
    *   "In the long term" -> "term" = period of time.
    *   "A long term advantage" -> "term" functions to define the duration.
    *   Sense 2 ("a limited period of time") is the standard definition for "term" in temporal contexts (like a president's term, a school term). In the context of "long term", it refers to the time horizon.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1. "an expression used for some particular thing". Sometimes "long term" is treated as a specific concept. But usually, "long-term" (hyphenated) is the adjective. Here it is "long <t>term</t> advantage".
    *   Context: "But it is about a long term advantage...".
    *   Meaning: An advantage that persists over a long period of time.
    *   Sense 2 fits best among the options.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. Could "term" mean a specific concept here? No, it's clearly about duration. "Short term" vs "Long term".
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

5.  **Final Output Formulation**:
    *   The sense index is 2.
    *   JSON format: `{"sense_index": 2}`.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to disambiguate the word "advantage" in the provided text.
The context describes a situation in a sports championship (likely soccer/football given the mention of cards, suspension, game phases) where players deliberately get sanctioned (yellow/red cards) to start the next phase without cards.
The text asks "what type of advantage the violators obtained".
It lists reasons why it might *not* be an advantage (disadvantageous for rival? no. obtained benefit in the same game? no. useful strategy for next game? no.).
Then it states: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards..."
It refers to a "long term advantage".

Let's look at the candidate senses:
Sense 1: "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position" (synonyms: vantage). Example: "the experience gave him the advantage over me". This refers to a state or position relative to others.
Sense 2: "(tennis) first point scored after deuce". This is a specific sports technical term. The context is about cards and suspensions, likely football/soccer, not tennis scoring. So this is incorrect.
Sense 3: "benefit resulting from some event or action" (synonyms: reward). Example: "it turned out to my advantage". This refers to a gain or positive outcome derived from an action.

Analysis of the context:
The text discusses a "benefit" obtained by the violators. Specifically, the benefit is starting the next phase without cards.
The text weighs whether this "advantage" is actually beneficial (reaping rewards) or strategic (superior position).
The phrase "obtained benefit" is explicitly used in the text: "...because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy...".
The sentence "The advantage... consists in the fact that..." describes a specific positive outcome (benefit) resulting from the action of getting sanctioned.
While Sense 1 (superior position) is plausible because having no cards is a superior position, Sense 3 (benefit resulting from an action) fits the context of "advantage obtained" or "obtained benefit" very closely. The text explicitly links the advantage to the action ("actions deliberately carried out").
Sense 3's definition "benefit resulting from some event or action" matches the "advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out".
The example for Sense 3 "it turned out to my advantage" implies a realized benefit.
The text discusses the nature of this benefit/reward (long term, uncertain).

Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 again.
Sense 1 emphasizes the *position* (being ahead).
Sense 3 emphasizes the *benefit/gain* resulting from an action.
Context: "what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out".
"obtained advantage" leans towards Sense 3 (benefit/gain).
The text analyzes the cost-benefit of the action.
"The advantage... consists in the fact that the players will begin... without cards". This is a benefit gained from taking the cards/suspension now.
Therefore, Sense 3 seems the best fit. It captures the meaning of "gain" or "benefit" derived from a specific strategy/action, rather than just a static superior position.

Let's check the synonyms.
Sense 1: vantage. "the experience gave him the vantage over me".
Sense 3: reward. "reaping the rewards".
The text discusses whether the action results in a net positive. "neither is it a useful strategy...".
The "advantage" is the payoff.
I will select Sense 3.

Wait, let me double-check Sense 1. Is having no cards a "superior or more favorable position"? Yes.
But is that the primary meaning here? The text frames it as "advantage obtained in the actions". You obtain a benefit (Sense 3), you possess a position (Sense 1). The action -> result link is strong here. The text argues about whether the action *yielded* a benefit.
"So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage." This questions whether it is a benefit at all.
Sense 3 definition: "benefit resulting from some event or action".
This aligns perfectly with "advantage the violators obtained in the actions".
Sense 1 is more static (the state of having the advantage). Sense 3 is dynamic (the result of an action).
The context focuses on the result of the deliberate action.
Therefore, Sense 3 is the correct choice.

Indices provided:
1 -> sense_key=advantage%1:07:00:: (superior position)
2 -> sense_key=advantage%1:23:00:: (tennis)
3 -> sense_key=advantage%1:07:01:: (benefit resulting from event/action)

The correct index is 3.

Target lemma: degree
Target surface form: degree
Context:
They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints. Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out. Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain <t>degree</t> of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage.

1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: "degree"
    *   Context snippet: "But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain **degree** of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change..."
    *   The phrase is "a certain degree of indetermination".
    *   "Indetermination" here refers to uncertainty or the quality of being undecided. The sentence discusses an advantage that isn't certain or absolute.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** `degree%1:07:00::` | Definition: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality" | Synonyms: grade, level | Examples: "a moderate grade of intelligence", "a high level of care".
        *   *Fit:* This fits well. "A certain degree of indetermination" implies a specific amount or level of uncertainty. The uncertainty isn't binary (yes/no); it has a magnitude. You can have a *high degree* of certainty or a *certain degree* of uncertainty. This matches the abstract measurement of intensity/amount.

    *   **Sense 2:** `degree%1:26:01::` | Definition: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process" | Synonyms: level, stage, point | Examples: "a remarkable degree of frankness", "at what stage are the social sciences?".
        *   *Fit:* This is very similar to Sense 1. WordNet often distinguishes these somewhat arbitrarily. Let's look at the examples. "A remarkable degree of frankness" is structurally identical to "a certain degree of indetermination" (Adjective + degree + of + Abstract Noun).
        *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 definitions.
        *   Sense 1: "position on a scale of intensity or amount".
        *   Sense 2: "specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
        *   "Indetermination" (uncertainty) is usually treated as a scalar quality (amount/intensity) rather than a "stage in a process". "Process" suggests steps (stage 1, stage 2). "Indetermination" is a quality/quantity.
        *   However, WordNet examples for Sense 2 ("remarkable degree of frankness") suggest this sense handles abstract qualities measured by extent.
        *   Let's look at Sense 1 examples: "moderate grade of intelligence", "high level of care".
        *   Let's look at Sense 2 examples: "remarkable degree of frankness".
        *   Usually, "degree" in the phrase "a [adjective] degree of [abstract noun]" is the classic "extent/amount/measure" sense.
        *   Is "indetermination" a stage in a process? No.
        *   Is "indetermination" a position on a scale of intensity/amount? Yes. You can have more or less uncertainty.
        *   Let's check the hypernyms/hierarchy if possible (mentally).
            *   Sense 1 (07:00): amount, magnitude.
            *   Sense 2 (26:01): point, state.
        *   "A degree of" usually means "an amount of".
        *   "A certain degree of indetermination" means "some amount of uncertainty".
        *   This aligns most strongly with Sense 1 (intensity/amount/quality).
        *   Let's reconsider Sense 2. The gloss mentions "especially in a process". The example "at what stage are the social sciences?" fits the "process" aspect better. The example "remarkable degree of frankness" fits the "abstract quality" aspect.
        *   WordNet (3.0/3.1) often separates the "extent/amount" usage into Sense 1 (07:00) and the "stage/step" usage into Sense 2 (26:01).
        *   Let's look at the synonym "grade" vs "stage".
        *   "To some degree" -> usually Sense 1.
        *   "A high degree of" -> usually Sense 1.
        *   Let's look at the definitions again.
        *   Sense 1: scale of intensity or amount.
        *   Sense 2: position in a continuum or series.
        *   While they overlap, "indetermination" is a quality (amount of uncertainty). Sense 1 explicitly mentions "scale of intensity or amount or quality".
        *   Sense 2 mentions "position in a continuum... especially in a process".
        *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the better fit because "indetermination" is a quality, not a stage in a process.

    *   **Sense 3:** Academic degree. (Not applicable).
    *   **Sense 4:** Geometry/Angles. (Not applicable).
    *   **Sense 5:** Math/Polynomials. (Not applicable).
    *   **Sense 6:** Temperature. (Not applicable).
    *   **Sense 7:** Seriousness of crime/burn. (Not applicable).

3.  **Refining the choice between Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Context: "a certain degree of indetermination".
    *   Sense 1 definition: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality". This explicitly lists "quality". "Indetermination" is a quality (state of being indeterminate).
    *   Sense 2 definition: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process". The "process" part pushes this towards "stages" (like degrees of Freemasonry or stages of development). While "remarkable degree of frankness" is listed as an example for Sense 2 in some versions, the gloss "scale of intensity... quality" (Sense 1) fits "amount of indetermination" much better.
    *   The key discriminator is often "amount" vs "stage".
    *   "A certain amount of..." -> Sense 1.
    *   "A certain stage of..." -> Sense 2.
    *   Here, "a certain degree of indetermination" is synonymous with "a certain amount of indetermination".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

4.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

    *   Target: "degree"
    *   Meaning: Amount/extent.
    *   Sense 1 gloss: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality".
    *   Matches "amount" and "quality".

    Let's double-check Sense 2's example provided in the prompt: "a remarkable degree of frankness". This is the tricky part. If "frankness" (a quality) uses Sense 2, does "indetermination" (a quality) use Sense 2?
    Let's look at Sense 1's examples: "a moderate grade of intelligence". Intelligence is a quality.
    Why does WordNet separate them?
    Often, Sense 1 (wn 1.07.00) is the "amount/extent" sense. "He has a high degree of skill".
    Sense 2 (wn 1.26.01) often deals with "degrees of comparison" (grammatical) or "stages".
    However, in the prompt provided:
    Sense 1: "grade, level". Examples: "intelligence", "care".
    Sense 2: "level, stage, point". Examples: "frankness", "social sciences".
    The example "remarkable degree of frankness" is attached to Sense 2 in this specific input list.
    However, the definition of Sense 1 includes "quality".
    "Indetermination" is very similar to "frankness" (abstract quality).
    Is it a "stage in a process"? No.
    Is it a "position on a scale of intensity"? Yes.
    The presence of "quality" in Sense 1's gloss makes it the strongest candidate for "intensity of an abstract quality".
    The Sense 2 gloss focuses on "position in a continuum... or process". While "frankness" can be on a continuum, Sense 1's "intensity or amount" captures the quantifiable nature of "a certain degree" better.
    Usually, "degree of [abstract noun]" maps to the "amount/extent" sense (Sense 1). The example "frankness" under Sense 2 in this specific prompt might be a noise or specific annotation nuance, but Sense 1's gloss "scale of intensity or amount or quality" is the textbook definition for "degree" used in phrases like "a degree of uncertainty/indetermination".

    Let's look at standard mapping practice for "degree" in "a degree of X".
    "To a degree" -> Sense 1.
    "A high degree of" -> Sense 1.
    "Indetermination" is the state of being indeterminate. It is measured by intensity.
    I will stick with Sense 1 because "indetermination" fits "scale of intensity or amount or quality" perfectly. Sense 2's gloss "series or process" is less fitting for a static quality like uncertainty.

reasoning_content:
The context is discussing a sports scenario where players deliberately get sanctions/cards to start a future phase without those cards. The key phrase is "the team can be eliminated first of change".

Looking at this sentence: "But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change"

This seems to be a translation or slightly awkward phrasing. "eliminated first of change" seems to mean "eliminated before any change [in the situation/circumstances]" or perhaps "eliminated before things change."

Let me analyze the senses:

1. sense_key=change%1:11:00:: | definition=an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another - This could fit if we're talking about a change in the team's situation (like advancing to next round)

2. sense_key=change%1:24:00:: | definition=a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event - This is about the difference between before/after states

3. sense_key=change%1:04:00:: | definition=the action of changing something - This is about the act of changing

4. sense_key=change%1:19:00:: | definition=the result of alteration or modification - This is about the result

5. sense_key=change%1:21:02:: | definition=the balance of money received - money sense, doesn't fit

6. sense_key=change%1:06:01:: | definition=a thing that is different - vague

7. sense_key=change%1:06:00:: | definition=a different or fresh set of clothes - doesn't fit

8. sense_key=change%1:21:01:: | definition=coins of small denomination - doesn't fit

9. sense_key=change%1:21:03:: | definition=money received in return - doesn't fit

10. sense_key=change%1:07:00:: | definition=a difference that is usually pleasant - doesn't fit

The phrase "eliminated first of change" is awkward. It seems to mean the team could be eliminated before any change happens or before the anticipated change (advancing to the next phase, clearing cards, etc.) occurs.

Sense 1 (an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another) seems most appropriate here. The context is discussing a future phase/round of the Championship, and "change" refers to the change in the team's situation - potentially advancing to next rounds, the situation changing from having card-laden players to card-free players, etc.

The context discusses phases, cycles, and the team potentially being eliminated before the change (advancing to the next phase) can happen. This aligns with sense 1's definition of "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another."

Sense 2 (relational difference between states) could also work, but sense 1 seems better because the context emphasizes the event/occurrence of the team advancing or not (passing from one phase to another).

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The text discusses "sanction", "violators", "players", "team", "Championship", "cards" (yellow/red cards in soccer), "suspension".
    *   The specific sentence containing the target word "action" is: "...and in addition with this **action** the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards..."
    *   The context also mentions: "...what type of advantage the violators obtained in the **actions** deliberately carried out."
    *   The core meaning here refers to specific deeds or behaviors performed by players (violators) on the sports field (likely soccer/football) to get a card deliberately (to reset card counts). These are deliberate acts/events.

2.  **Evaluate the candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1:* "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" | examples=there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions.
        *   This is a very general sense of "something done". The context talks about specific acts (fouls, time-wasting, etc.) carried out by players. "Something done" fits the general category. Let's see if there's a more specific fit.

    *   *Sense 2:* "the state of being active" | synonyms=activity, activeness.
        *   This refers to a state, not a specific deed. The context refers to "this action" as a specific event/act. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 3:* "a military engagement".
        *   Context is sports, not war. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 4:* "a process existing in or produced by nature".
        *   Context is human/sports. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 5:* "the series of events that form a plot".
        *   Context is not fiction/narrative structure in that sense. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 6:* "the trait of being active and energetic and forceful".
        *   Refers to a personality trait ("a man of action"). Context uses "this action" as a noun referring to an event. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 7:* "the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism".
        *   Mechanical definition. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 8:* "a judicial proceeding... legal action".
        *   While "sanction" is mentioned, "action" here refers to the players' behavior (the foul/game event), not a lawsuit. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 9:* "an act by a government body or supranational organization".
        *   Refers to government/UN action. Incorrect.

    *   *Sense 10:* "the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area".
        *   Idiomatic usage ("where the action is"). Incorrect.

    *   *Revisiting Sense 1:* "something done".
        *   The text discusses "actions deliberately carried out". This refers to specific acts (behaviors). The definition "something done" covers this perfectly. It contrasts with something said, but broadly means an act or deed. In WordNet, this is the general sense for a specific deed (act/action).
        *   Let's look closely at the mapping.
        *   action%1:04:02:: maps to the noun "act, action" meaning "something done".
        *   The context sentence: "...with this **action** the players fulfil a sanction game..."
        *   The antecedent is "...what type of advantage the violators obtained in the **actions** deliberately carried out."
        *   These are specific acts/deeds.
        *   Does any other sense fit? No.
        *   Is there a sense for "legal action"? Sense 8. But the text is about sports strategy.
        *   Is there a sense for "military action"? Sense 3. No.

    *   Therefore, the specific act/deed performed by the players fits Sense 1 best ("something done").

3.  **Double Check:**
    *   Target: "actions deliberately carried out" and "with this action".
    *   Definition: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)".
    *   Example in WordNet: "there were stories of murders and other unnatural actions". This implies specific deeds/events.
    *   Context: Deliberate fouls/time-wasting (actions) to get cards.
    *   Sense 1 is the general noun for a deed.

4.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

Target lemma: player
Target surface form: players
Context:
They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints. Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out. Here it seems necessary to state that it isn't a disadvantageous situation for rival nor is an obtained benefit in the same game, because evidently the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players. And neither is it a useful strategy for the next game, because the club will not be able to count on those players. The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. But it is about a long term advantage, with a certain degree of indetermination, because the team can be eliminated first of change, and in addition with this action the <t>players</t> fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Sentence: "...with this action the players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards..."
    *   Target word: "game" (specifically the phrase "sanction game").
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses sports (Championship, players, cards, suspension, rival team). It mentions "next game", "future game", "result of the action", "less players".
    *   Specific usage: "fulfil a sanction game". This implies serving a suspension for *one match* or *one instance of the contest*.

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**

    *   *Sense 1 (game%1:04:00::):* "a contest with rules to determine a winner". This refers to the abstract concept of the activity or the event as a whole entity. Example: "you need four people to play this game".
    *   *Sense 2 (game%1:04:03::):* "a single play of a sport or other contest". Example: "the game lasted two hours".
    *   *Sense 3 (game%1:04:01::):* "an amusement or pastime". Too general/playful, this is a competitive sports context.

    *   *Sense 5 (game%1:28:00::):* "(tennis) a division of play...". Specific to tennis scoring. The text mentions Championship, cards (yellow/red cards), suspension by accumulation. This is football (soccer) or a similar team sport, not tennis.
    *   *Sense 6 (game%1:23:00::):* "the score...". Irrelevant.
    *   *Sense 7 (game%1:13:00::):* "flesh of wild animals". Irrelevant.

    *   *Sense 11 (game%1:04:04::):* "frivolous behavior". Irrelevant.

3.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**

    *   The text refers to "the next game", "a future game", "a sanction game".
    *   When a player is suspended, they miss a specific match (e.g., "the game against Real Madrid" or "the game on Saturday").
    *   Sense 1 defines the *concept* of the contest. "They played a game of football."
    *   Sense 2 defines a *single instance* or occurrence of the contest. "The game lasted two hours."
    *   The phrase "sanction game" implies a specific match that must be sat out. It acts as a unit of the competition.
    *   The context mentions "the result of the action", "the next game", "a future game". These refer to specific scheduled events.
    *   Is it Sense 1 or Sense 2? WordNet often distinguishes between the activity/game type (Sense 1) and the specific instance/match (Sense 2).
    *   Context: "...fulfil a sanction game..." -> fulfilling a suspension for *one match*.
    *   Context: "...benefit in the same game..." -> refers to the specific match being played.
    *   Context: "...useful strategy for the next game..." -> refers to the subsequent specific match.
    *   These are specific instances of the sporting contest.
    *   Sense 2 gloss: "a single play of a sport or other contest". This fits perfectly. It refers to the specific event/match.
    *   Sense 1 gloss: "a contest with rules to determine a winner". This is often used for the *type* of activity (e.g., "Soccer is a game") or the event in a slightly more abstract way. However, WordNet examples for Sense 1 are "you need four people to play this game" (referring to the type/activity). Sense 2 examples are "the game lasted two hours" (referring to the specific instance).
    *   The text discusses specific matches ("the next game", "a sanction game"). Therefore, Sense 2 is the precise fit for "a single play of a sport".

4.  **Conclusion:** The target word refers to specific matches in a championship (instances of the contest). Therefore, Sense 2 is the correct choice.

5.  **Formatting:** Return JSON object.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target word and context:**
    *   Target lemma: suspension
    *   Context: The text discusses a sports context (Championship, cards, players, games). It talks about players receiving a "sanction" (punishment) for card accumulation. The specific sentence mentions "the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle."
    *   Key phrase: "...players fulfil a sanction game... suspension by card accumulation..."

2.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "a mixture in which fine particles are suspended in a fluid..." (Chemistry/Physics). Clearly incorrect for a sports context.
    *   Sense 2: "a time interval during which there is a temporary cessation of something" (Synonyms: pause, intermission, break). This refers to a period of time, usually general. While a suspension involves time, this sense emphasizes the interval itself (like a break in a meeting).
    *   Sense 3: "temporary cessation or suspension" (Synonyms: abeyance). Very similar to Sense 2, often abstract. "Abeyance" usually refers to a state of temporary disuse.
    *   Sense 4: "an interruption in the intensity or amount of something" (Synonyms: respite, reprieve, hiatus, abatement). This refers to a lessening or a break in intensity, not a punitive measure.
    *   Sense 5: "a mechanical system of springs..." (Automobile). Incorrect context.
    *   Sense 6: "the act of suspending something (hanging it from above...)" (Synonyms: dangling, hanging). Incorrect context.
    *   Sense 7: "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)" (Synonyms: temporary removal). This is the standard definition used in sports (e.g., a player is suspended for a game or matches due to a rule violation).

3.  **Compare Context with Best Candidates:**
    *   The context talks about "sanction," "violators," "advantage," "cards," "Championship."
    *   The phrase "suspension by card accumulation" refers to the punishment where a player is removed from play for a certain number of games.
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 7: "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)". The privilege being playing in the match.
    *   Senses 2, 3, and 4 refer to "pauses" or "interruptions" in a process or time flow. Sense 7 specifically refers to the status of a person being barred from an activity/position. The text discusses players being unable to count for the team ("fulfil a sanction game"). This is a debarment.

4.  **Select the indexed sense:**
    *   Sense 7 corresponds to "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)".

5.  **Format the output:**
    *   JSON object: `{"sense_index": 7}`.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the target lemma and surface form:** The target is "accumulation", a noun.
2.  **Analyze the context:** The text discusses a sports scenario (likely soccer/football) involving yellow/red cards, suspensions, and tactical fouling. The specific sentence is: "...in which the suspension by card <t>accumulation</t> takes place with one less than in the first cycle."
    *   Context clues: "suspension by card accumulation". This refers to the process where a player collects cards (e.g., yellow cards) over several games. Once they reach a threshold (accumulate enough cards), they get suspended.
    *   Meaning in context: It refers to the *act* or *process* of collecting cards, leading to a total count. It implies the gathering or collecting of these cards over time.
3.  **Analyze the candidate senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** `accumulation%1:22:00::` | definition=an increase by natural growth or addition | synonyms=accretion.
        *   *Fit:* "Natural growth" doesn't fit the deliberate collecting of penalty cards.
    *   **Sense 2:** `accumulation%2:xx:xx::` (Wait, checking index mapping in the prompt).
        *   Sense 2: `accumulation%1:14:00::` | definition=several things grouped together or considered as a whole | synonyms=collection, aggregation, assemblage.
        *   *Fit:* This refers to a static collection or a group of things (e.g., "an accumulation of leaves"). While the cards are a "collection", the phrase "suspension by card accumulation" usually refers to the *mechanism* or *process* of accumulating the count, or the resulting state of having accumulated them. However, does it refer to the pile of cards itself? Usually, "accumulation" in sports contexts refers to the ongoing tallying up. Let's compare with Sense 3.
    *   **Sense 3:** `accumulation%1:04:00::` | definition=the act of accumulating | synonyms=accrual, accruement.
        *   *Fit:* "The act of accumulating". In the context of "suspension by card accumulation", it describes the process/event of the player acquiring cards. The suspension is triggered *by* the act/process of accumulating cards. "Accrual" is a strong synonym here.
    *   **Sense 4:** `accumulation%1:21:00::` | definition=(finance) profits that are not paid out...
        *   *Fit:* Specific to finance. Not relevant here.

4.  **Distinguish between Sense 2 (collection/aggregate) and Sense 3 (act of accumulating):**
    *   The phrase is "suspension by card accumulation".
    *   Is the suspension caused by the *pile of cards* (Sense 2) or the *process of accruing cards* (Sense 3)?
    *   In sports terminology, "card accumulation" refers to the cumulative total reached over time. While the result is a collection of cards in a record book, the concept is dynamic—the *accumulating* of the cards.
    *   Let's look at the WordNet definitions again.
        *   Sense 2: "several things grouped together". Example: "a collection of books". If I say "The accumulation of cards on the table was large", that's Sense 2.
        *   Sense 3: "the act of accumulating". Example: "The accumulation of wealth". If I say "The accumulation of cards led to his suspension", it highlights the process/growth of the total count.
    *   The sentence says "suspension by card accumulation". This is a mechanism. The mechanism is the act of adding cards to the player's record.
    *   Let's look at the modifiers. "Suspension by...". Usually, one is suspended *due to* accumulation. The word "accumulation" here stands for the process of reaching the limit.
    *   Compare "The accumulation of leaves blocked the drain" (Sense 1/3 - process/act resulting in a pile) vs "There was a large accumulation of leaves" (Sense 2 - the pile itself).
    *   Here, "suspension by card accumulation" parallels "suspension by violent conduct". It describes the mode or cause. The cause is the *act of collecting* the cards.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 ("the act of accumulating") seems the most precise. It covers the dynamic aspect of reaching the threshold count.

    *Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.*
    Sense 1 is "natural growth". Card accumulation is not natural growth (it's imposed/earned by fouling). So Sense 1 is out.
    Sense 3 is "the act of accumulating".
    Sense 2 is the result as a collection.
    While Sense 2 is plausible (the accumulation = the total cards), the usage in sports "card accumulation" usually defines the rule/process regarding the buildup of cards. "Accumulation of yellow cards". If it were Sense 2, it would likely be "an accumulation of cards". Here it is used as an uncountable abstract noun describing the process/state of having accrued them. The definition "the act of accumulating" fits best for the abstract process denoted here.

    Let's check the mapping provided in the prompt to ensure I have the indices right.
    1. ... natural growth ...
    2. ... several things grouped together ...
    3. ... the act of accumulating ...
    4. ... finance ...

    The text says: "suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle."
    This implies a rule about the *process* of counting cards.
    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Could it be Sense 2?
    Synonyms for Sense 2: collection, aggregation, assemblage.
    Synonyms for Sense 3: accrual, accruement.
    "Card accrual" makes sense. "Card collection" sounds like a hobby (collecting trading cards). "Card accumulation" sounds like the sporting penalty rule.
    This confirms Sense 3. The "accumulation" here is the accrual of penalties, not a "collection" in the sense of a curated set or a static pile, but the act of the count going up.

    Therefore, index 3 is the correct choice.

The context is discussing a sports championship, specifically about players accumulating cards and being suspended. The text mentions "the following phase of the Championship" and talks about teams being eliminated and "passing rounds" in a tournament context.

The key phrase is: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."

This refers to tournament rounds - stages in a competition. In sports tournaments, teams advance through rounds (like quarter-finals, semi-finals, finals).

Let me look at the senses:

1. Ammunition - not relevant
2. An interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs (cycle, rhythm) - this is about cycles like seasons, not tournament rounds
3. A regular route for a sentry or policeman - not relevant
4. A series of professional calls - not relevant
5. 18 holes of golf - not relevant
6. Usual activities in your day - not relevant
7. (sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive - this is about rounds in boxing or similar combat sports
8. The course along which communications spread - not relevant
9. A serving to each of a group - not relevant
10. A cut of beef - not relevant
11. A partsong - not relevant
12. An outburst of applause - not relevant
13. A crosspiece between the legs of a chair - not relevant
14. Any circular or rotating mechanism - not relevant

Hmm, none of these perfectly match "tournament rounds" or "elimination rounds." Let me reconsider.

Sense 2 is "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs" with synonyms "cycle, rhythm" and example "the never-ending cycle of the seasons." This seems more about cyclical events.

Sense 7 is "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive" with synonyms "turn, bout." This seems to be about boxing rounds or similar.

In this context, "rounds" refers to stages/phases of a tournament championship - like first round, second round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, etc. This is a tournament structure concept.

Looking more carefully at the senses, sense 2 with "cycle" might be the closest, as it relates to recurring sequences. Tournament rounds are a type of cycle through stages of a competition.

However, let me reconsider sense 7 again. It says "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive." This seems more like boxing rounds where each round is a unit of competition time. But the context here is about a championship where teams pass through rounds (advance to later stages), which is different from the back-and-forth offensive turns in boxing.

Actually, sense 2 might be the best fit, even though the example given (seasons) is different. The concept of "rounds" in a tournament is indeed a recurring sequence - teams go through round after round in the tournament structure. The synonym "cycle" could apply to tournament cycles/rounds.

Let me reconsider once more. The phrase "by passing rounds" means advancing through tournament stages. This is a sports tournament context.

Sense 7 is specifically marked as "(sports)" but describes something different - a round where one team is on the offensive (like in boxing).

Sense 2 describes a recurring sequence of events, which tournament rounds could fall under conceptually.

I think sense 2 is the best match here, as tournament rounds represent stages in a recurring sequence within the championship structure. The concept of "passing rounds" in a tournament aligns with advancing through a cycle of competitive stages.
