Target lemma: suspension

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 players fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards, in which the <t>suspension</t> by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle.

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "accumulation" in the given context.The context is about sports, sanctions, cards (yellow/red cards in football), and accumulation of cards leading to suspension.

It mentions: "suspension by card <t>accumulation</t> 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."

So, "accumulation" here refers to the accumulation of cards, which leads to suspension.

It's the process or the buildup of cards.

Looking at candidates:

1. an increase by natural growth or addition | synonyms=accretion

2. several things grouped together or considered as a whole | synonyms= collection, aggregation, assemblage

3. the act of accumulating | synonyms=accrual, accruement

4. finance specific

Clearly not 4.

Between 1,2,3.

1 is accretion, which is a type of accumulation.

But in context, it's not natural growth.

I think the "which" refers to the actions, meaning those actions are part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages...

The target word is "decisions" in the context: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic <t>decisions</t> that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

It's talking about strategic decisions in sports that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules, like using cards strategically.

The context explains that these are strategic decisions against the sporting spirit, but part of it.

I need to choose the single best indexed sense for "decisions".

Candidates are numbered 1 to 5, corresponding to sense_key decision%1:04:00 etc.

The instruction: Return only a JSON object {"sense_index": 3} or whatever.

I need to pick the best one.

This seems like "decisions" as in choices or acts of deciding strategically.

Looking at sense 1: the act of making up your mind about something | synonyms=determination, conclusion

But determination is more for decisiveness 5.

Sense 2: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration | synonyms=determination, conclusion

In context, "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages" – the decisions are things that favor, so perhaps the judgments or positions reached.

But in common parlance, strategic decisions mean the decisions one makes strategically, i.e., the act.

Let's see typical WordNet usage.

I recall that in sports strategy, it's about making strategic decisions, meaning choosing actions.

Also, the context says "chosen when to obey it" – choosing, so act of choosing.

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "assumption" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the candidates.
The context is: "Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."

It seems like <t is a tag for the word "assumption".

The text is discussing whether some actions are against the sporting spirit, and then "Regarding this assumption", meaning regarding the assumption that those actions are against the sporting spirit or something.

But then it says the players chose when to obey it, made a strategic decision.

I think "assumption" here is used as "premise" or "hypothesis" that is taken for granted, but the clarification is that they didn't avoid punishment.

Looking at candidates, sense 7: the act of assuming or taking for granted | examples=your assumption that I would agree was unwarranted

But in context "this assumption" refers to a specific one, like the one that actions are strategic advantages.

I believe it's sense 7, because it's about the assumption (act) in the strategic decision.

No, the text says "they made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment" regarding this assumption.

Perhaps it's referring to the assumption that they were trying to avoid the sanction, but they didn't.

I think the best fit is sense 1: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn, as "regarding this [premise/assumption]"

Many texts use "assumption" for premise.

For example 1 has "on the assumption that"

Which is common phrase.

Whereas "this assumption" is used for that.

For sense 7, it's the act, but the word is used for the content too.

But I think 1 is better.

Let's see if it's 2: hypothesis taken for granted.

The context is about football players and sanctions, cards. It says: "the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction (this would have been a clear case of legal fraud), but rather chosen when to obey it. They made a strategic decision without avoiding the punishment."

So, "application of the sanction" means the enforcement or imposition of the sanction.

Looking at the candidates:

7. sense_key=application%1:04:00:: | definition=the action of putting something into operation | examples=the application of maximum thrust; massage has far-reaching medical applications

This matches: putting the sanction into operation – applying/enforcing it.

1. is bringing to bear; using for purpose – also close, but "application of statistics" is using a method.

But in legal terms, "application of law" is enforcing it.

I think 7 is better.

It's about players making a strategic choice regarding when to obey the sanction – they chose strategically when to apply it, without avoiding punishment, but strategically timing it.

This is clearly about making a decision, the act of deciding strategically.

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "law" in the given context. I need to choose the best indexed sense from the candidates.
The context is about a sports situation, probably soccer with cards and sanctions. It discusses whether an action is "legal fraud" or "wittiness" (which might mean cleverness or wit, like smart play within rules).

The word is "law" in "<t>law</t> fraud", likely a tag for "law fraud".

It says: "this would have been a clear case of legal fraud", and then "the border between the wittiness and the law fraud is diffuse", and "it was a clear case of wittiness".

So, the author is saying it's not fraud according to the law, but just clever strategy.

"law" here refers to the rules or the legal framework in the game.

Looking at candidates, sense 1: the collection of rules imposed by authority | synonyms=jurisprudence

This fits, as it's about rules, sanctions, authority (of the game rules).

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "fraud" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the candidates.
The context says: "Although the border between the wittiness and the law <t>fraud</t> is diffuse, in this occasion I believe it was a clear case of wittiness."

It's discussing whether a strategic decision in a sports game (likely soccer) to cause auto-expulsions is "w wittiness" (cleverness) or fraud (against the law).

It mentions that avoiding the sanction would be a clear case of legal fraud, but they didn't avoid it, they chose when to obey it strategically.

So, the term "law fraud" is used for something illegal, like cheating to avoid punishment 100%.

In the candidates, sense 1 is about intentional deception resulting in injury to another person – that sounds like fraud in legal terms, causing harm.

Sense 3 is deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage – which fits the strategic advantage in the game, but the context is calling it "law fraud" when it's illegal.

The sentence is "the law fraud", and earlier "legal fraud".

I think it's referring to the legal sense of fraud, which is sense 1.

But sense 1 says "resulting in injury to another person", which is specific.

In sports, if they cause expulsions, it might injure the team or something.

Sense 3 fits "gain an advantage" which is mentioned.

The context says "taking advantages allowed by the rules" vs not.

But for fraud, it's to gain advantage illegally.

I believe the best fit is sense 3, because it's "something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage", and in context it's about strategic decision to gain advantage but timing it.

But the context calls it "legal fraud" when avoiding sanction.

If they avoided it, that would be fraud, meaning tricking the system to not get punished.

So both fit, but let's see.

It's about the damage caused to the principles of the sport. It's a change for the worse to the principles, or harm to them.

Looking at candidates:

1 damage%1:11:00:: the occurrence of a change for the worse | synonyms=harm, impairment

This fits well: occurrence of change for the worse to the principles.

The task is Word Sense Disambiguation for "principles" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the candidates.
The context is: "The damage brought about to the <t>principles</t> of the sport by these actions is not as much ethical as aesthetic."

It's about principles of the sport. The actions damaged the principles of the sport, more aesthetically than ethically.

I need to choose the single best indexed sense for 1 to 6.

Candidates are numbered 1 to 6, corresponding to sense_keys.

The target is "principles" in context of "principles of the sport".

Sport has principles like fair play, etc.

Looking at candidates:

1. basic generalization for reasoning or conduct, synonyms=rule, examples= their principles of composition...

"principles of composition" is like rules for writing.

2. rule or standard especially of good behavior, examples=man of principle; violate his principles

This is moral/good behavior.

3. basic truth or law or assumption, examples=the principles of democracy

4. rule or law concerning natural phenomenon or function of complex system, examples=conservation of mass; jet propulsion

5. rule of personal conduct, synonyms=precept

6. (law) explanation of fundamental reasons, rationale, examples=rationale for capital punishment; principles of internal-combustion engines

"principles of internal engines" is like sense 6, but for sport, not fitting.

For "principles of the sport", it could be like principles governing the sport, basic truths or laws.

Like principles of democracy in sense 3.

Or like rules in sense 1.

But the context mentions "sporting spirit", which is the ethos, and distinguishes from rules.

It says actions against sporting spirit, and strategic decisions favoring advantages allowed by rules.

Then later damage to principles of the sport, not as much ethical as aesthetic.

So, principles here likely mean the fundamental principles or ideals of the sport, like in sense 3: basic truth or law or assumption.

Example "principles of democracy" is very similar structure: principles of [something].

For sense 1, example "principles of composition" also similar.

But composition is more like art, and context has aesthetic.

But I think sense 3 is more general for basic truths.

In sports context, "principles of sport" might refer to fundamental rules or assumptions.

But note that it says "not as much ethical as aesthetic", so the principles are not primarily ethical (good behavior), but have aesthetic aspect.

So sense 2 and 5 are about good behavior, which is ethical.

Whereas sense  3 is basic truth/law/assumption, which can be neutral, and damage can be aesthetic.

Yes, that makes sense.

For example, principles of the sport include fairness (ethical), but also the aesthetic beauty of the game.

Damaging them is more aesthetic damage here.
