Target lemma: player
Target surface form: players
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 <t>players</t> 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.

4.  **Match context to senses:**
    *   The context ("following phase of the Championship") clearly refers to a stage or period of the competition.
    *   Sense 1 ("any distinct time period in a sequence of events") perfectly matches this meaning.
    *   Sense 2 (chemistry) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 3 (angle/point in a cycle) is too specific and doesn't fit the general concept of a "Championship phase."

Target word: Championship

Candidate Senses:
1. sense_key=championship%1:26:00:: | definition=the status of being a champion | synonyms=title | examples=he held the title for two years (Focuses on the *status* of being champion)
2. sense_key=championship%1:11:00:: | definition=a competition at which a champion is chosen | synonyms=tournament, league (Focuses on the *event/competition*)
3. sense_key=championship%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of providing approval and support | synonyms=backing, backup, patronage | examples=his vigorous backing of the conservatives got him in trouble with progressives (Focuses on *support/backing*)

Analysis:
The context discusses players, Real Madrid, rules violations, sanctions, future games, elimination, and cycles of cards. The phrase is "the following phase of the Championship." This clearly refers to the ongoing competitive structure or league/tournament the team is participating in.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Status of being a champion (Title): The team is *in* the championship phase, not necessarily defined by having already won the title. This sense is less fitting for describing the phase of play.
2. A competition at which a champion is chosen: This perfectly matches the context of a professional sports league/tournament (Real Madrid, players, rules, phases).
3. Act of providing approval and support: This is completely irrelevant to the context of sports competition and player sanctions.

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target word: `participation`
    *   Context sentence: "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their <t>participation</t> in a future game."
    *   Surrounding context: The discussion is about football (Real Madrid, referee, sanctions, cards, Championship, players, games). The players are facing sanctions (cards/suspensions). The advantage is avoiding cards that could threaten their ability to play in future games.

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:**
        *   Definition: the act of sharing in the activities of a group
        *   Synonyms: engagement, involvement
        *   Example: the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities
        *   *Relevance Check:* This sense relates to active involvement in activities. In the context of sports, "participation" means being able to take part in the game/competition. This seems highly relevant.

    *   **Sense 2:**
        *   Definition: the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)
        *   Synonyms: involvement
        *   Example: (None provided, but the definition suggests shared status or commonality.)
        *   *Relevance Check:* This sense focuses more on shared status or commonality (e.g., shared ownership, shared membership). While related to being part of a group, it is less specific to the *act* of playing or taking part in a specific event (like a game).

3.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   The context is about players being threatened with sanctions that could prevent them from playing in a "future game" of the "Championship."
    *   The ability to play in a game is the *act* of sharing in the activities of the group (the team/Championship).
    *   Sense 1 ("the act of sharing in the activities of a group") perfectly captures the meaning of being able to play or take part in the competition.
    *   Sense 2 is too abstract and focuses on shared condition rather than active involvement in the event.

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

5.  **Format the Output:** (The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index.)
    *   Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

2.  **Identify the target word:** "game" (in "sanction game").

3.  **Analyze the surrounding text/domain:** The text discusses Real Madrid, players, rules, sanctions, referees, cards, championships, and cycles of cards/suspensions. This is clearly related to professional sports (football/soccer).

4.  **Examine the candidate senses in light of the context:**

    *   1. a contest with rules to determine a winner (General contest) - Plausible, but maybe too broad.
    *   2. a single play of a sport or other contest (Specific instance of play) - Plausible, but "sanction game" suggests a specific phase or type of event.
    *   3. an amusement or pastime (Leisure activity) - Unlikely in a professional sports/sanction context.
    *   4. animal hunted for food or sport - Irrelevant.
    *   5. (tennis) a division of play during which one player serves - Too specific (tennis).
    *   6. (games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win - Unlikely. "Sanction game" doesn't mean a score.
    *   7. the flesh of wild animals that is used for food - Irrelevant.
    *   8. a secret scheme to do something (Plot) - Unlikely.
    *   9. the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game - Unlikely.
    *   10. your occupation or line of work - Unlikely.
    *   11. frivolous or trifling behavior - Unlikely.

5.  **Re-evaluate the best fit:** The context is highly specific to competitive sports (football/soccer). The phrase "sanction game" refers to a specific event or match within the competition structure, likely one where disciplinary actions (cards, suspensions) are tracked or applied.

    *   Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is the most general and safest fit for a competitive match in a championship.
    *   Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") could also fit, but Sense 1 encompasses the entire match/event structure implied by "Championship" and "cycle of cards."

6.  **Select the best sense:** Since the context is about a match within a championship where rules and sanctions apply, Sense 1, defining a contest with rules, is the most accurate and encompassing definition for "game" in this sporting context.

7.  **Final check:** "The players fulfil a sanction game" means they participate in a match/contest where disciplinary rules are enforced. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Collocation: "long term advantage"

Candidate senses:

Analysis:
The phrase is "long term advantage".
"Long term" modifies "advantage". This structure typically refers to a duration or timeframe.

Let's evaluate the candidates based on the context "long term advantage":

1. Term as vocabulary: Irrelevant.
2. Term as a limited period of time: Highly relevant. "Long term" directly means a period of time extending into the future.
3. Term as contractual stipulations: Less relevant. While "terms" can refer to duration in some contexts (e.g., lease terms), here it modifies "advantage" to specify the timeframe of that advantage.
4. Term in polynomial: Irrelevant.
5. Term in logic: Irrelevant.

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

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "advantage" based on the provided context and candidate senses.

Context analysis:
The text discusses a situation involving "violators," "sanction," "rival," "team," "players," "Championship," "cards," "suspension," and "game." The core discussion revolves around whether a specific action provides a benefit or a favorable position.
The sentence containing the target word 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."
The context further elaborates on this as a "long term advantage."

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=advantage%1:07:00:: | definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | synonyms=vantage | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. sense_key=advantage%1:23:00:: | definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce
3. sense_key=advantage%1:07:01:: | definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | synonyms=reward | examples=it turned out to my advantage; reaping the rewards of generosity

Evaluation:
Sense 2 is specific to tennis and is clearly irrelevant to the context (which is about sports sanctions/Championships).

Sense 1: "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position." This fits the general idea of a favorable position.
Sense 3: "benefit resulting from some event or action." This also fits the idea of a positive outcome or gain.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
The context states: "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."
This describes a specific positive outcome (not being threatened by cards) resulting from an action (the sanction/action taken).

Sense 3 ("benefit resulting from some event or action") seems slightly more precise for describing the *result* of the action (the players starting without threatening cards).
Sense 1 ("the quality of having a superior or more favorable position") is also accurate, as starting without threats is a favorable position.

However, the examples for Sense 3 ("it turned out to my advantage; reaping the rewards of generosity") strongly emphasize the idea of a positive outcome or gain (a benefit). The context describes a specific gain/benefit (avoiding card threats).

Let's re-examine the phrasing. "The advantage... consists in the fact that [a positive outcome occurs]." This structure strongly aligns with Sense 3 (a benefit resulting from an event).

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

Target word: degree
Phrase containing target word: "with a certain degree of indetermination"

Analysis of the context:
The text discusses a sporting context (Championship, players, cards, sanction, elimination). The discussion revolves around the uncertainty or lack of clarity regarding whether a certain advantage is truly beneficial in the long run. The phrase "a certain degree of indetermination" means a certain *level* or *amount* of uncertainty.

Analysis of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=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 is required
2. sense_key=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?
3. sense_key=degree%1:10:00:: | definition=an award conferred by a college or university signifying that the recipient has satisfactorily completed a course of study | synonyms=academic degree | (Irrelevant - academic)
4. sense_key=degree%1:23:00:: | definition=a measure for arcs and angles | synonyms=arcdegree | (Irrelevant - geometry)
5. sense_key=degree%1:09:00:: | definition=the highest power of a term or variable | (Irrelevant - math)
6. sense_key=degree%1:23:03:: | definition=a unit of temperature on a specified scale | (Irrelevant - temperature)
7. sense_key=degree%1:07:01:: | definition=the seriousness of something (e.g., a burn or crime) | (Irrelevant - severity/seriousness)

Matching the context ("degree of indetermination") to the senses:
"Indetermination" refers to a state of uncertainty, which is a quality or amount.
Sense 1: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality." This perfectly matches "a certain degree of indetermination" (a certain *amount* or *level* of uncertainty).
Sense 2: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process." While related to levels, Sense 1 is a better fit when modifying an abstract quality like "indetermination."

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "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."

2.  **Determine the meaning of 'change' in context:** The phrase is "eliminated first of change." This structure suggests that 'change' refers to a phase, a stage, or a period of the competition (Championship). The context discusses the progression of the game ("passing rounds," "first cycle," "second cycle").

3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   1. `change%1:11:00`: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another" (synonyms: alteration, modification). *This aligns well with moving from one phase/cycle to another.*
    *   2. `change%1:24:00`: "a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event." *Too abstract; the context refers to a specific stage.*
    *   3. `change%1:04:00`: "the action of changing something." *This is an action, but here 'change' seems to be the *thing* (the phase/stage) that one is eliminated from.*
    *   4. `change%1:19:00`: "the result of alteration or modification." *Not the primary meaning here.*
    *   5. `change%1:21:02`: Money received (change). *Irrelevant.*
    *   6. `change%1:06:01`: A thing that is different. *Too general.*
    *   7. `change%1:06:00`: Clothes. *Irrelevant.*
    *   8. `change%1:21:01`: Coins. *Irrelevant.*
    *   9. `change%1:21:03`: Money received (change). *Irrelevant.*
    *   10. `change%1:07:00`: Pleasant difference. *Irrelevant.*

4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 (`change%1:11:00`) defines 'change' as "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another." This perfectly captures the idea of moving through stages or cycles in a competition ("first cycle," "second cycle," "passing rounds"). Being eliminated "first of change" means being eliminated during the initial phase/stage of the competition.

5.  **Final check:** Context: "the team can be eliminated first of change." Sense 1: "an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another." This is the strongest match.

1.  **Analyze the context:** The target word is "action." The relevant sentence is: "...and in addition with this <t>action</t> 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."
    *   The surrounding text discusses a sporting context (Championship, players, cards, sanction game, suspension, team elimination).
    *   The "action" here is something the players perform or participate in, specifically related to fulfilling a "sanction game" and moving through cycles of cards/suspensions.

2.  **Examine the candidate senses:**

    *   1. something done (general act): Plausible, but perhaps too broad.
    *   2. the state of being active: Refers to a state, not a specific event/activity in a game.
    *   3. a military engagement: Incorrect (sports context).
    *   4. a process existing in or produced by nature: Incorrect (human/sporting context).
    *   5. the series of events that form a plot: Incorrect (narrative context).
    *   6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful: Incorrect (trait/quality).
    *   7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism: Incorrect (mechanical context).
    *   8. a judicial proceeding: Incorrect (legal context).
    *   9. an act by a government body: Incorrect (political context).
    *   10. the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field: Possible, but usually refers to the main focus (e.g., "the action is in stocks").

3.  **Refine the selection based on context:**
    *   The context describes a specific event or phase within a competition ("sanction game," "second cycle of cards"). The "action" is the specific event or series of events that leads to the consequence (suspension/card accumulation).
    *   Sense 1 ("something done") is the most general fit for an event or activity.
    *   Sense 5 ("the series of events that form a plot") is close, but usually implies a narrative structure, whereas here it refers to a structured sporting event/phase.
    *   Sense 10 ("the most important or interesting work or activity") is too focused on importance/interest, not the event itself.

4.  **Compare Sense 1 and the context:**
    *   Context: "...with this action the players fulfil a sanction game..."
    *   Sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)"
    *   This fits perfectly. The "action" is the specific activity or event (the sanction game) that the players perform.

5.  **Final Check:** The word "action" refers to the specific event or activity (the sanction game) that the players are undertaking. Sense 1 captures this general meaning of a performed event or activity.

6.  **Construct the output.** (Sense 1)

Target lemma: player

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.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "players" (plural of "player") based on the provided context.

Context analysis:
The text discusses a sporting/competitive scenario involving "sanction," "violators," "advantage," "game," "team," "Championship," "cards," "suspension," and "cycle."
Key phrases involving "players":
1. "...supposes leaving their own team with less players." (Refers to team members)
2. "...the club will not be able to count on those players." (Refers to team members)
3. "...the players will begin the following phase of the Championship..." (Refers to participants in the Championship)
4. "...the <t>players</t> fulfil a sanction game and go to the second cycle of cards..." (Refers to participants/team members involved in the game/sanction)

The context clearly relates to competitive sports or games where teams and sanctions are involved.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=player%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who participates in or is skilled at some game | synonyms=participant
2. sense_key=player%1:18:02:: | definition=someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession) | synonyms=musician, instrumentalist

Evaluation:
Sense 1: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." This perfectly matches the context of a Championship, teams, and sanctions in a competitive setting.
Sense 2: Musical player. Irrelevant.
Sense 3: Theatrical performer. Irrelevant.
Sense 4: Sexual partner. Irrelevant.
Sense 5: Business participant. While "player" can mean this, the context is explicitly about sports/games ("Championship," "team," "cards," "sanction game").

Sense 1 is the best fit.

Target lemma: game
Target surface form: game
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 <t>game</t> 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:** The sentence is: "...and in addition with this action the players fulfil a sanction <t>game</t> 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."
2.  **Determine the domain:** The surrounding text discusses sports, teams, players, sanctions, cards, championships, and strategies ("rival," "team," "Championship," "players," "sanction"). This is clearly a sports/competition context.
3.  **Analyze the target word usage:** "the players fulfil a sanction game." The word 'game' here is linked to a 'sanction' and a 'cycle of cards' (likely disciplinary cards in a sport).
4.  **Evaluate candidate senses based on context:**

    *   1. a contest with rules to determine a winner (General competition) - Plausible, but maybe too broad.
    *   2. a single play of a sport or other contest (Specific instance of play) - Plausible, but the context seems to refer to a phase or event related to the sanction, not necessarily a single play.
    *   3. an amusement or pastime (Leisure) - Unlikely in a disciplinary/competitive context.
    *   4. animal hunted for food or sport - Irrelevant.
    *   5. (tennis) a division of play during which one player serves - Too specific (tennis).
    *   6. (games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win - Unlikely; 'game' here is not referring to a score.
    *   7. the flesh of wild animals that is used for food - Irrelevant.
    *   8. a secret scheme to do something (Plot) - Unlikely; the sanction is official.
    *   9. the game equipment needed in order to play a particular game - Unlikely.
    *   10. your occupation or line of work - Unlikely.
    *   11. frivolous or trifling behavior - Unlikely.

5.  **Re-evaluate the best fit:** The context is about competitive sports (Championship, players, teams). The sanction is related to the structure of the competition (cycles of cards, suspension).
    *   Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is the most general and fitting description of the overall activity.
    *   Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") could also fit if 'game' refers to a specific match or phase of the competition where the sanction applies.

6.  **Refining the choice (Sense 1 vs Sense 2):** The phrase "fulfil a sanction game" suggests that the sanction is tied to the nature of the competition itself, or perhaps a specific phase/match within the competition. Given the high-level discussion of "Championship" and "cycles," Sense 1 (the overall contest/event) seems slightly more appropriate than Sense 2 (a single instance of play), although both relate to the sporting context.

7.  **Final check:** If the context is about a sporting event where disciplinary actions (sanctions, cards) are applied, the event itself is a 'game' (Sense 1 or 2). Since the text discusses the structure of the competition and the consequences within the overall framework, Sense 1 (the contest) is the most robust choice.

8.  **Select the index:** Sense 1.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text discusses a sporting context (Championship, team, players, cards, sanction, game). The specific phrase is "...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."

2.  **Analyze the target word and its usage:** The word is "suspension." It is linked to "sanction game," "card accumulation," and "cycle of cards." This strongly suggests a penalty or temporary removal from participation.

3.  **Examine the candidate senses:**
    *   1. mixture (physical science) -> Irrelevant.
    *   2. time interval of cessation (general pause) -> Possible, but too general.
    *   3. temporary cessation or suspension (general abeyance) -> Possible, but perhaps too broad for a formal penalty.
    *   4. interruption in intensity/amount (abatement) -> Irrelevant.
    *   5. mechanical system (car parts) -> Irrelevant.
    *   6. act of hanging (dangling) -> Irrelevant.
    *   7. temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc) -> Highly relevant. A "suspension by card accumulation" in sports means temporary removal/ban from playing.

4.  **Compare the best candidates (3 and 7):**
    *   Sense 3: "temporary cessation or suspension" (synonyms: abeyance). This is a general definition.
    *   Sense 7: "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)" (synonyms: temporary removal). This is a specific application of temporary cessation, perfectly matching the context of a sporting penalty ("sanction game," "card accumulation").

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 7 is the most precise and contextually appropriate definition for "suspension" in the context of sports penalties.

6.  **Format the output:** Return the JSON object with the correct sense index.

Context snippet: "...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 <t>accumulation</t> takes place with one less than in the first cycle."

Target word: accumulation

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=accumulation%1:22:00:: | definition=an increase by natural growth or addition | synonyms=accretion
2. sense_key=accumulation%1:14:00:: | definition=several things grouped together or considered as a whole | synonyms=collection, aggregation, assemblage
3. sense_key=accumulation%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of accumulating | synonyms=accrual, accruement
4. sense_key=accumulation%1:21:00:: | definition=(finance) profits that are not paid out as dividends but are added to the capital base of the corporation

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses players, sanctions, games, and cards. Specifically, it mentions "the suspension by card accumulation takes place with one less than in the first cycle."

This suggests that "accumulation" here refers to the process or result of cards being gathered or added up over time, leading to a suspension.

Let's evaluate the senses:

1. **an increase by natural growth or addition (accretion):** This fits the idea of cards being added up.
2. **several things grouped together or considered as a whole (collection, aggregation):** This describes the state (a collection of cards), but the context seems to focus on the *process* or the *total count*.
3. **the act of accumulating (accrual, accruement):** This refers to the process of gathering or increasing, which perfectly matches the idea of cards being added up until a threshold is reached.
4. **(finance) profits...:** This is clearly irrelevant (finance context).

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1: "an increase by natural growth or addition" (Focuses on the result/state of increase).
Sense 3: "the act of accumulating" (Focuses on the process).

In the phrase "suspension by card accumulation," "accumulation" functions as a noun describing the total count or the process of reaching that count. Since the context is about players receiving cards over cycles, the *act* or *process* of the cards building up (Sense 3) is the most precise fit for how the suspension is triggered. "Accrual" or "accruement" (synonyms for Sense 3) strongly suggest a gradual buildup or accumulation of points/cards.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "rounds" (target lemma: round) based on the provided context.

Context analysis:
The text discusses a sporting context (Championship, team, players, cards, sanction game, sporting spirit).
The specific phrase is: "So that, by passing <t>rounds</t>, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."
The discussion revolves around the progression of a competition or game, specifically mentioning "the second cycle of cards" and "the first cycle."

Candidate senses analysis:
1. ammunition charge (Irrelevant)
2. an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs (cycle, rhythm). This fits the idea of a phase or period in a competition.
3. regular route (Irrelevant)
4. series of professional calls (Irrelevant)
5. golf activity (Irrelevant, though sports-related, the context is about league/game progression, not golf).
6. usual activities (Irrelevant)
7. (sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive (turn, bout). This is highly relevant to sports progression.
8. course for communications (Irrelevant)
9. serving of drinks (Irrelevant)
10. cut of beef (Irrelevant)
11. partsong (Irrelevant)
12. applause (Irrelevant)
13. chair crosspiece (Irrelevant)
14. circular mechanism (Irrelevant)

Comparing relevant senses (2 and 7):
Sense 2: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs" (cycle, rhythm).
Sense 7: "(sports) a division during which one team is on the offensive" (turn, bout).

The context mentions "the second cycle of cards" and "the first cycle." This suggests a structured progression of the competition.
The phrase "passing rounds" in a competitive context usually refers to completing a stage or period of the competition.

If the competition is structured into phases or stages, Sense 2 (interval/cycle) is very appropriate.
If the competition is structured into specific turns or halves (like in a match), Sense 7 is appropriate.

Given the mention of "cycle" earlier in the text ("go to the second cycle of cards"), Sense 2 seems to capture the broader meaning of a structured period or phase of the competition better than Sense 7, which is more specific to offensive/defensive turns within a single match. "Passing rounds" here likely means completing a phase of the tournament structure.

Let's re-examine the relationship between Sense 2 and the context. The competition has cycles (phases). Passing rounds means moving through these phases.

Sense 2: "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs" (cycle, rhythm).
This fits the idea of a phase or period in a tournament structure.

I select Sense 2 as the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "advantage" based on the provided context and candidate senses.

Context analysis:
The text discusses actions taken by "violators" in a game/Championship setting (likely sports, given terms like "players," "team," "cards," "Championship," "sporting spirit").
The text questions what type of advantage was obtained.
It contrasts this with a "disadvantageous situation" or "obtained benefit."
It then specifies the advantage: "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."
It further discusses this as a "long term advantage."
The context is highly focused on strategic benefits or outcomes derived from actions within a competitive system (sports rules/sanctions).

Candidate senses:
1. `sense_key=advantage%1:07:00`: definition=the quality of having a superior or more favorable position | synonyms=vantage | examples=the experience gave him the advantage over me
2. `sense_key=advantage%1:23:00`: definition=(tennis) first point scored after deuce (Specific sports term)
3. `sense_key=advantage%1:07:01`: definition=benefit resulting from some event or action | synonyms=reward | examples=it turned out to my advantage; reaping the rewards of generosity

Evaluation:
*   **Sense 2** is too specific (tennis scoring) and doesn't fit the general context of strategic benefits in a championship/sanction system.
*   **Sense 1** focuses on the *quality* of having a superior position (a state of being favorable). While related, the context emphasizes the *thing* gained or the *benefit* derived from the action ("The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin... without cards").
*   **Sense 3** focuses on the *benefit resulting from some event or action*. This perfectly matches the context: the players' action (the event) resulted in a benefit (not having threatening cards in the next phase). The synonyms ("reward") and examples ("it turned out to my advantage") align well with the idea of a strategic gain.

Conclusion: Sense 3 is the best fit because the text describes a specific, tangible benefit gained as a result of a strategic action.

    *   6. `action%1:07:00`: the trait of being active and energetic and forceful. (Refers to character/trait, not specific deeds.)
    *   7. `action%1:06:00`: the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism. (Mechanical/technical, irrelevant.)
    *   8. `action%1:04:01`: a judicial proceeding. (Legal, irrelevant.)

    *   10. `action%1:04:00`: the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field. (Refers to focus/area of interest, not specific deeds.)

3.  **Re-evaluating the Best Fit:**
    *   The context describes specific behaviors ("actions") taken by players that are considered against the "sporting spirit" and are part of "strategic decisions." These are discrete deeds or choices.
    *   Sense 1 (`something done`) is the most general fit for discrete deeds.
    *   Let's check if any other sense captures the *intentional* or *behavioral* nature of the actions in a game setting better than Sense 1.
    *   Sense 1: "something done (usually as opposed to something said)" - This perfectly covers the idea of a player performing a specific deed or choice.
    *   The other senses are too specialized (military, legal, mechanical, natural process, plot).

4.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit, as the "actions" refer to the specific deeds or behaviors performed by the players in the context of the game's rules and strategy.

5.  **Final Selection:** sense_key=action%1:04:02
