Target lemma: change
Target surface form: change
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 <t>change</t>, 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.

Candidate senses:

3. sense_key=change%1:04:00:: | definition=the action of changing something | examples=the change of government had no impact on the economy; his change on abortion cost him the election
4. sense_key=change%1:06:01:: | definition=a thing that is different | examples=he inspected several changes before selecting one
5. sense_key=change%1:21:01:: | definition=coins of small denomination regarded collectively | examples=he had a pocketful of change

*   Target lemma: `change`
    *   Target surface form: `change`
    *   Context: "...because the team can be eliminated first of <t>change</t>, and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction game..."
    *   Wait, let me re-read the context carefully. "the team can be eliminated first of <t>change</t>".
    *   Looking at the sentence: "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..."

    *   "the team can be eliminated first of change"
    *   This phrase "first of change" sounds very strange in English. Let me look at the surrounding text.
    *   The text discusses sports sanctions, cards, and championships.
    *   "the team can be eliminated first of change" - Could this be a translation error?
    *   Let's look at the possible meanings of "change" in this specific (and odd) phrase.
    *   Wait, could "change" here mean "the change of phase" or "the change of rounds"?
    *   Let's re-read: "the players will begin the following phase of the Championship... because the team can be eliminated first of change".
    *   If "change" refers to the transition between phases or rounds of the championship, it's an event where something passes from one state/phase to another.

    *   Sense 1: relational difference between states.
    *   Sense 2: an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another (synonyms: alteration, modification).
    *   Sense 3: the action of changing something.
    *   Sense 4: a thing that is different.
    *   Sense 5: coins.
    *   Sense 6: a difference that is usually pleasant.
    *   Sense 7: balance of money.
    *   Sense 8: fresh set of clothes.
    *   Sense 9: money received for larger denomination.
    *   Sense 10: the result of alteration or modification.

    *   "the team can be eliminated first of change"
    *   If we interpret "change" as the transition between phases of the championship (the "change" of phase), Sense 2 ("an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another") fits best.
    *   Let's check if "change" could mean something else. Could it be "the result of alteration" (Sense 10)? No. "The action of changing" (Sense 3)? Maybe, but Sense 2 is more about the transition itself.
    *   Wait, let me look at the phrase "first of change" again. Is it possible it's a mistranslation of something like "before the change" or "before the transition"?
    *   If it means "before the transition to the next phase", then "change" refers to that transition event.

    *   Sense 2: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   This matches the context of moving from one phase of the Championship to another.

    *   Sense 1: Relational difference. (Less likely)
    *   Sense 3: Action of changing. (Possible, but Sense 2 is more about the event/transition)
    *   Sense 10: Result of alteration. (Less likely)

    *   The sentence is: "...because the team can be eliminated first of change..."
    *   This is likely a translation from another language (perhaps Spanish "antes del cambio" or similar, though "first of change" is still weird).
    *   Regardless, in the context of a championship moving through phases, "change" refers to the transition/event of moving from one phase to the next.
    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "passes from one state or phase to another".

    *   Sense 2: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another".
    *   This fits the "phase of the Championship" context perfectly.

    *   Actually, looking at the phrasing "fulfil a sanction game", it sounds like a translation from another language (possibly Portuguese "cumprir jogo de suspensão" or Spanish "cumplir partido de sanción"). In English, we'd say "serve a one-game suspension."
    *   Regardless of the phrasing, "game" refers to the match they are missing.

    *   Sense 4: `accumulation%1:21:00::` - (finance) profits not paid out as dividends.

    *   The phrase is "suspension by card accumulation".
    *   In sports, "card accumulation" refers to the process of receiving multiple yellow cards over several games, which eventually leads to a suspension.
    *   This is the *act* or *process* of gathering/collecting cards over time.

    *   Sense 1 (natural growth/accretion) doesn't fit well; cards aren't "growing" naturally.
    *   Sense 2 (collection/aggregation) refers to the *result* (the group of cards), but "card accumulation" usually refers to the *process* of getting them. However, "collection" is close.
    *   Sense 3 (the act of accumulating) fits perfectly. The suspension happens because of the *act* of accumulating cards.
    *   Sense 4 (finance) is irrelevant.

    *   "The suspension by card accumulation" means the suspension caused by the process of accumulating cards.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of accumulating". This is the most precise fit for the process described.

Context:
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 suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle. So that, by passing <t>rounds</t>, it is not so clear that it is an advantage. Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules.

*   Target lemma: `round`
    *   Target surface form: `rounds`
    *   Context: A discussion about sports (Championship, players, cards, sanctions, games, teams). The specific sentence is: "So that, by passing <t>rounds</t>, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
    *   Meaning: In the context of a sports championship, "passing rounds" refers to moving through the different stages or intervals of the competition (e.g., round 1, round 2, etc.).

    *   1: cut of beef (Incorrect)
    *   2: regular route for sentry/policeman (Incorrect)
    *   3: an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs (synonyms: cycle, rhythm) (Possible, but maybe too general)
    *   4: outburst of applause (Incorrect)
    *   5: 18 holes of golf (Incorrect)
    *   6: usual activities in your day (Incorrect)

    *   11: course along which communications spread (Incorrect)
    *   12: (sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive (Incorrect - this is about turns in a game, not stages of a tournament)
    *   13: series of professional calls (Incorrect)
    *   14: circular mechanism (Incorrect)

    *   Wait, looking at the candidate senses again. None of them explicitly say "a stage in a tournament."
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, rhythm".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 12: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive | synonyms=turn, bout".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 13: "a series of professional calls".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 6: "the usual activities in your day".

    *   Wait, is there a sense I missed? Let me look at the list again.
    *   1: beef
    *   2: sentry route
    *   3: interval/cycle
    *   4: applause
    *   5: golf
    *   6: daily activities
    *   7: ammunition
    *   8: song
    *   9: chair rung
    *   10: drinks
    *   11: communication spread
    *   12: sports division (offensive turn)
    *   13: professional calls
    *   14: circular mechanism

    *   The context is "passing rounds" in a Championship. This usually means moving from the first round to the second round, etc.
    *   Sense 3 ("an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs") is the closest, as a round in a tournament is an interval in the overall sequence of the competition.
    *   Let's double-check if "round" in sports (tournament stage) is typically mapped to one of these.
    *   Actually, looking at WordNet (the source of these glosses), "round" as a stage in a competition is often listed. Let's see if any of these fit better.
    *   Sense 12 says "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive". That's not a tournament round.
    *   Sense 3 says "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs". A tournament round is an interval in the sequence of the tournament.

    *   Wait, let me look at the provided senses again. Is it possible that "rounds" here refers to something else?
    *   "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... So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
    *   "Passing rounds" here likely means progressing through the stages of the tournament.
    *   If Sense 3 is "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs", it fits the idea of a cycle or a stage.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, rhythm | examples=the never-ending cycle of the seasons".
    *   Is there any other possibility?
    *   Sense 12: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive". No.
    *   Sense 13: "a series of professional calls". No.
    *   Sense 6: "the usual activities in your day". No.

    *   Let's think about "round" in a tournament. It's a stage. Is a stage an "interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs"? In a tournament, each round consists of a set of games (the recurring sequence).

    *   Wait, let me look at the list one more time. Is there any other sense?
    *   1: beef
    *   2: sentry route
    *   3: interval/cycle
    *   4: applause
    *   5: golf
    *   6: daily activities
    *   7: ammunition
    *   8: song
    *   9: chair rung
    *   10: drinks
    *   11: communication spread
    *   12: sports division (offensive turn)
    *   13: professional calls
    *   14: circular mechanism

    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 3 is the only one that describes a temporal or sequential division (interval/cycle).

    *   Wait, let me search for "round" in WordNet.
    *   round (n):
        1.  a circular shape
        2.  a stage in a competition (This is what I'm looking for!)
        3.  a series of drinks
        4.  a sequence of calls
        5.  a bout in boxing
        6.  a round of applause
        7.  a round of ammunition

    *   Now, let's look at the provided candidate senses again.
    *   Sense 3: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, rhythm"
    *   Sense 12: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive | synonyms=turn, bout"

    *   Wait, Sense 12 mentions "bout". In boxing, a "round" is a bout. But the context here is a "Championship" with "players" and "cards" (likely soccer/football). In soccer, a "round" is a stage of the tournament (e.g., Round of 16).

    *   Is a tournament round an "interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs"? Yes, each round is an interval, and the sequence of games recurs in each round.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 12 again: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive". This is very specific and doesn't fit a tournament stage.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 3 again: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs". This is a bit broad, but it's the only one that fits the concept of a "stage" or "cycle" (the text even mentions "second cycle of cards").

    *   Wait, let me look at the text again: "...go to the second cycle of cards... So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
    *   The word "cycle" is used just before "rounds". This strongly suggests that "rounds" is being used in a similar sense to "cycle" or "stage".

    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the most plausible choice among the provided options.

    *   Sense 3: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, rhythm"
    *   Context: "passing rounds" (progressing through stages of a championship).
    *   This fits the "interval" and "cycle" aspect.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 12 one more time. "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive | synonyms=turn, bout".
    *   In some sports, a "round" is a "bout" (like boxing). But in a tournament, it's a stage.
    *   If the provided senses are the *only* options, and Sense 3 is "interval/cycle", it's the best fit.

    *   Let's quickly check if "round" could be Sense 13 (professional calls) or Sense 6 (daily activities). No.
    *   Sense 11 (communications spread)? No.
    *   Sense 10 (drinks)? No.

    *   Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 1: "the written part of the exam" (division).
    *   Sense 8: "he wanted to feel a part of something bigger than himself" (constituent/component).
    *   In the sentence "the sporting spirit... is part of the strategic decisions", the "sporting spirit" (or the lack thereof) is being framed as a constituent element of the overall set of strategic decisions.

    *   Is it Sense 1? "one of the portions into which something is regarded as divided".
    *   Is it Sense 8? "something determined in relation to something that includes it".
    *   Comparing "part of the exam" (Sense 1) vs "part of something bigger" (Sense 8).
    *   "Strategic decisions" is a conceptual category. "Sporting spirit" (or the actions against it) is a component of that category. Sense 8's "component part, component, constituent" fits this conceptual relationship better than Sense 1's "section, division".

    *   Wait, let me re-read the sentence: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."
    *   Actually, looking closer: "Those actions are really against the sporting spirit, which is part of the strategic decisions..."
    *   Wait, is it saying the *sporting spirit* is part of the strategic decisions, or the *actions* are part of the strategic decisions?
    *   Grammatically, "which" usually refers to the nearest noun phrase ("the sporting spirit"). But logically, it's more likely that the *actions* (which are against the sporting spirit) are part of the strategic decisions.
    *   Regardless of whether "which" refers to "the sporting spirit" or "those actions", the meaning of "part" remains "a component or constituent of a larger whole".

    *   Sense 1: section, division.
    *   Sense 8: component part, component, constituent.
    *   "Part of the strategic decisions" -> "A component of the strategic decisions". This aligns perfectly with Sense 8.

Target lemma: decision

Context:
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 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. 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. Regarding this assumption, 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.

*   Target word: "assumption"
    *   Context: The text discusses a strategic decision by a sports club/players regarding sanctions and cards. The author argues that the players didn't act to avoid the sanction (fraud) but chose when to obey it. The sentence is: "Regarding this <t>assumption</t>, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
    *   Analysis of "assumption" in this context: The author is referring back to a previous point or a premise being discussed (likely the idea that the players were trying to cheat or avoid sanctions). The "assumption" here is the premise or hypothesis that the players acted to avoid the sanction.

    *   Sense 1: Taking possession/power (e.g., assumption of office). -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2: Virgin Mary (Christianity). -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 3: Audacious behavior/presumption. -> Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: A hypothesis that is taken for granted (supposition). -> Possible.
    *   Sense 5: A statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn (premise). -> Very likely.
    *   Sense 6: The act of assuming or taking for granted. -> Possible, but usually refers to the *process* of assuming.
    *   Sense 7: Celebration of Virgin Mary. -> Incorrect.

    *   Sense 4 (hypothesis) vs. Sense 5 (premise/statement from which a conclusion is drawn).
    *   The text says: "Regarding this assumption, the players did not act in order to avoid the application of the sanction..."
    *   The author is addressing a specific claim or premise (that the players were avoiding the sanction) and then refuting it or clarifying it.
    *   Sense 5 ("a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn") fits well because the "assumption" is the basis for the potential accusation of "legal fraud."
    *   Sense 4 ("a hypothesis that is taken for granted") is also close, but "premise" (Sense 5) often fits better in argumentative contexts where a conclusion (like "this is legal fraud") is being drawn.
    *   Let's look at Sense 6: "the act of assuming". This is the *action*, not the *thing* assumed. The text says "this assumption", referring to the idea itself.

    *   The author is discussing a specific point of view or a premise: "the players acted in order to avoid the application of the sanction".
    *   If that premise were true, it would be "a clear case of legal fraud".
    *   Therefore, the "assumption" is the premise/statement being tested or refuted.
    *   Sense 5: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn". This matches perfectly.

    *   Sense 4: "a hypothesis that is taken for granted".
    *   Sense 5: "a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn".
    *   In this context, the "assumption" is the specific premise that leads to the conclusion of "legal fraud". Sense 5 is more precise for this logical structure.
