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.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "players" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context revolves around "Real Madrid" and actions taken by its "players" that involve violating rules, receiving sanctions, and the strategic implications of these actions in the context of a championship. The text mentions "team," "rival," "game," "referee," and "Championship," which are terms commonly associated with sports.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A person who participates in or is skilled at some game** - This sense fits well with the context, as it refers to individuals participating in a sport or game, which aligns with the discussion about "players" of "Real Madrid" and the dynamics of a "game" or "Championship."

2. **Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)** - There's no mention or implication of music or musical instruments in the context, making this sense irrelevant.

3. **A theatrical performer** - The context does not relate to theater or performance arts, so this sense is not applicable.

4. **A person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously** - The context is entirely about sports and team dynamics, not about social or sexual relationships, so this sense is not relevant.

5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While "player" can metaphorically refer to an important entity or individual in various contexts, the specific context here is about sports, not business or similar domains.

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense for "players" is related to individuals participating in a sport or game, which corresponds to the first candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "phase" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing a sports championship, specifically how players from Real Madrid deliberately violate rules to gain a long-term advantage by avoiding card accumulation that could lead to suspension in future games. The relevant sentence mentions "the following phase of the Championship."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **"any distinct time period in a sequence of events"** - This sense is relevant because a championship can be divided into distinct periods or stages (e.g., group stage, knockout phase). The synonym "stage" is particularly relevant here, as championships are often discussed in terms of stages or phases.

2. **"(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system"** - This sense is not relevant to the context, as the discussion is about a sports championship, not a chemical system.

3. **"a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle"** - This sense is more related to physics or engineering, particularly in contexts involving cycles or periodic phenomena. It doesn't directly relate to the context of a sports championship.

4. **"(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination"** - This sense is related to astronomy, specifically to the appearance of celestial bodies like the moon. It's not relevant to the context of a sports championship.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "any distinct time period in a sequence of events." The discussion is about a sports championship and its progression, making "phase" synonymous with "stage," which is a common way to divide a championship into parts (e.g., group stage, knockout stage).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "phase" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Championship" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a team, Real Madrid, and their actions in relation to violating rules and receiving sanctions during a competition. It mentions the consequence of these actions on their participation in the "following phase of the Championship" and the strategic advantage gained by players starting the next phase without certain accumulated sanctions.

1. The first sense defines "championship" as "the status of being a champion" with synonyms like "title." The context does not directly relate to the status of being a champion but rather to a competition or tournament.

2. The second sense defines "championship" as "a competition at which a champion is chosen." The context implies a structured competition where teams participate in phases and where sanctions can affect future participation. This aligns with the notion of a competition or tournament.

3. The third sense defines "championship" as "the act of providing approval and support." The context does not discuss providing approval or support; it focuses on the actions of a team within a competition.

Given the context, the most relevant definition is the second one: "a competition at which a champion is chosen." The text refers to a structured competition ("the following phase of the Championship") and discusses strategies within this competition, which fits this definition.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "Championship" in the given context is the second sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "participation" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a scenario involving football players from Real Madrid who violate rules, leading to a sanction. It explains that the advantage gained from their actions is that the players will start the next phase of the Championship without accumulated cards that could threaten their ability to participate in a future game.

2. **Target Word Context**: The sentence where "participation" appears is: "...the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game." Here, "participation" refers to the act of taking part in a future game.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: `participation%1:04:00::` is defined as "the act of sharing in the activities of a group." The synonyms provided are "engagement," "involvement," and "involution." An example given is "the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities." This sense aligns with the context of taking part in a game, as it involves sharing in the activities of a group (the game).
   - **Sense 2**: `participation%1:26:00::` is defined as "the condition of sharing in common with others (as fellows or partners etc.)." The synonym provided is "involvement." While this sense also relates to being involved or sharing with others, it leans more towards a state or condition rather than an act.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "participation" refers to the act of taking part in a future game. This aligns more closely with the first sense, which emphasizes the act of sharing in the activities of a group. The example given for Sense 1 ("the teacher tried to increase his students' engagement in class activities") illustrates a similar context where "engagement" (or participation) is about actively taking part in activities.
   - Therefore, the most appropriate sense for "participation" in the given context is Sense 1.

5. **Response Formatting**: The task requires the response to be in a specific JSON format, indicating the chosen sense index.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "game" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing a sports scenario involving a football (soccer) team, Real Madrid, and the implications of certain actions by the players on their participation in future games. The specific sentence with the target word is: "...the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards that could threaten their participation in a future game."

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner.
2. A single play of a sport or other contest.
3. An amusement or pastime.
4. Animal hunted for food or sport.
5. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves.
6. (Games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win.
7. The flesh of wild animals that is used for food.
8. A secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal).
9. The game equipment needed in order to play a particular game.
10. Your occupation or line of work.
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior.

The context clearly relates to sports, specifically football/soccer, and discusses the strategic implications of player actions on future matches. The term "game" here refers to a match or a contest within the championship.

- Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is a plausible definition but is more general.
- Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") directly corresponds to the context, as "game" is used to refer to a specific match or contest within the championship.
- Sense 3 and others are less relevant to the context.

Given the context and the examples, the most appropriate sense is Sense 2, as it directly relates to "a single play of a sport or other contest," which aligns with the use of "game" to refer to a future match in the championship.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "game" is Sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "term" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a situation in a sports championship where players gain an advantage by being suspended for a game, as it allows them to start the next phase without certain cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. The text mentions "a long term advantage," indicating a benefit that is realized over a period of time.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A word or expression used for some particular thing - This sense doesn't fit the context as "term" is not being used to refer to a specific word or expression.
2. A limited period of time - This sense is relevant because "term" is used to describe the duration over which an advantage is realized.
3. A statement of what is required as part of an agreement - This sense doesn't directly apply to the context, as there's no discussion about the terms of an agreement.
4. Any distinct quantity contained in a polynomial - This is a mathematical sense that doesn't fit the context.
5. One of the substantive phrases in a logical proposition - This sense is related to logic and doesn't apply to the given context.
6. The end of gestation or point at which birth is imminent - This sense is related to the medical or biological context of pregnancy and doesn't fit.
7. A statue or human bust or an animal carved out of the top of a square pillar - This is an architectural sense that is unrelated to the context.

The phrase "a long term advantage" suggests that "term" refers to a period of time. Thus, the most appropriate sense is "a limited period of time," which corresponds to sense_index 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "advantage" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a situation in a sports championship where players from a team deliberately violate rules, resulting in sanctions. The discussion revolves around whether this action gives the violating players or their team an "advantage."

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: The term "advantage" is used to describe a potential benefit gained by the players due to their actions. Specifically, it mentions that the advantage lies in the players starting the next phase of the championship without accumulated cards that could threaten their participation in future games.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=advantage%1:07:00::**: This sense refers to having a superior or more favorable position. The example given is "the experience gave him the advantage over me." This sense is about a general superiority or favorable condition.
   - **2. sense_key=advantage%1:23:00::**: This is a specific term used in tennis, referring to the first point scored after deuce. The context provided does not relate to tennis, so this sense is not applicable.
   - **3. sense_key=advantage%1:07:01::**: This sense is about a benefit resulting from some event or action, with "reward" as a synonym. An example is "it turned out to my advantage."

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is discussing a potential benefit or positive outcome for the players due to their actions, not necessarily a general superiority or a term specific to tennis.
   - Both senses 1 and 3 seem plausible because they both relate to the concept of something being favorable. However, sense 3 directly refers to a "benefit resulting from some event or action," which closely aligns with the context of gaining a benefit (starting without accumulated cards) from a specific action (deliberately violating rules).
   - The discussion around "advantage" in the passage is about whether the outcome of the players' actions results in a benefit for them or their team, which matches the definition and example provided for sense 3.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "advantage" in the given context is **3**, corresponding to the definition of "benefit resulting from some event or action."

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "degree" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a situation in a sports championship where players from a team deliberately incur a sanction, which results in their team having fewer players. The advantage gained is that these players will start the next phase without certain cards that could threaten their participation in a future game. However, this advantage is described as being "with a certain degree of indetermination" because the outcome depends on various factors like the team's progression in the championship.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **"a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality"** - This sense fits well because "degree of indetermination" refers to the extent or level of uncertainty or unpredictability associated with the advantage gained by the players. The phrase "a moderate grade of intelligence" or "a high level of care is required" illustrates how "degree" is used to denote a position on a scale, which aligns with the usage in the context.

2. **"a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process"** - While this could potentially fit in some contexts, it doesn't as neatly align with "degree of indetermination" as the first sense does. The examples given ("a remarkable degree of frankness"; "at what stage are the social sciences?") suggest a specific point or level, but "degree of indetermination" is more about the extent of something.

3. **"an award conferred by a college or university"** - This sense is unrelated to the context, which discusses sports and strategy rather than academic achievements.

4. **"a measure for arcs and angles"** - This is a mathematical sense that doesn't fit the context.

5. **"the highest power of a term or variable"** - Another mathematical sense that is not relevant to the given context.

6. **"a unit of temperature on a specified scale"** - This sense is also not relevant as the context doesn't discuss temperature.

7. **"the seriousness of something (e.g., a burn or crime)"** - While this involves a kind of "degree," it's more about categorizing the severity of an incident or crime, which doesn't directly apply to "degree of indetermination."

Given the context and the analysis, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "a position on a scale of intensity or amount or quality." This is because "degree of indetermination" refers to the extent or level of uncertainty.

Target lemma: team
Target surface form: team
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 <t>team</t> 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=team%1:14:00:: | definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports) | synonyms=squad
2. sense_key=team%1:14:01:: | definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something

Instructions:

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "team" in the given context, let's analyze the information provided.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a situation involving a sports team, specifically focusing on the strategy and consequences of certain actions taken by players, such as receiving sanctions and the impact on their participation in future games. The context clearly indicates that "team" refers to a group of players working together in a competitive setting.

2. **WordNet Glosses and Definitions**:
   - The first candidate sense defines "team" as "a cooperative unit (especially in sports)" with the synonym "squad".
   - The second candidate sense defines "team" as "two or more draft animals that work together to pull something".

3. **Sense Disambiguation**:
   - Given the context is about sports and a group of players, the first sense ("a cooperative unit (especially in sports)") directly relates to the usage of "team" in the passage.
   - The second sense refers to draft animals, which is unrelated to the context provided.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly supports the first sense, as it involves a sports team.
   - The first sense is indexed as "1".

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "team" in the given context is the first sense.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "change" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a situation in a sports championship where players from a team are sanctioned and the potential advantage or disadvantage this situation presents. The specific sentence with the target word is: "...because the team can be eliminated first of change...".

Let's break down the candidate senses to identify the most appropriate one:

1. **an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another** - This sense could potentially fit as it talks about a transition, which is somewhat relevant.
2. **a relational difference between states; especially between states before and after some event** - This is more about comparing states before and after an event, which is somewhat relevant but not directly related to the context of "change" as used.
3. **the action of changing something** - This involves the act of altering something, which is a plausible interpretation.
4. **the result of alteration or modification** - This refers to the outcome of a change, which could be relevant depending on the context.
5. **the balance of money received when the amount you tender is greater than the amount due** - Clearly not relevant as the context is not about financial transactions.
6. **a thing that is different** - This could be a possible interpretation if "change" refers to something different or new.
7. **a different or fresh set of clothes** - Not relevant as the context is not about clothing.
8. **coins of small denomination regarded collectively** - Not relevant as the context is not about money or coins.
9. **money received in return for its equivalent in a larger denomination or a different currency** - Again, not relevant as it's about financial transactions.
10. **a difference that is usually pleasant** - This implies a positive change or variation, which is not directly relevant to the context.

The phrase "first of change" is somewhat idiomatic and likely refers to being eliminated before a significant transition or phase in the competition, such as a change in the phase of the tournament or championship.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is **1. an event that occurs when something passes from one state or phase to another**. The discussion is about the team being eliminated "first of change," implying a transition or a different phase in the championship. This aligns with the idea of a change from one state or phase to another.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "change" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "players" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context revolves around a team, a game, and the consequences of certain actions taken by the players, such as receiving sanctions and the impact on their participation in future games. The text mentions "their own team," "rival," "the same game," "the next game," and "the Championship," indicating a competitive, sports-related environment.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A person who participates in or is skilled at some game** - This sense fits well with the context, as it discusses players in relation to a team and a game, suggesting a sports context.
2. **Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)** - There's no mention or implication of music or musical instruments in the context.
3. **A theatrical performer** - The context doesn't relate to theater or performance arts.
4. **A person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously** - This sense is unrelated to the context provided, which focuses on a competitive team sport.
5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While this could metaphorically apply, the context specifically talks about a game and teams, not business deals.

Given the context and the information provided, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." This is because the text directly refers to a competitive scenario involving teams and games, aligning with the definition of a player in a sports context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "players" in the given context is **1**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "game" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing a sports championship, specifically focusing on the strategy and implications of players being sanctioned or suspended due to card accumulation. The text mentions "the next game," "a future game," and the consequences of actions taken during a game on subsequent games.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A contest with rules to determine a winner.
2. A single play of a sport or other contest.
3. An amusement or pastime.
4. Animal hunted for food or sport.
5. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves.
6. (Games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win.
7. The flesh of wild animals that is used for food.
8. A secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal).
9. The game equipment needed in order to play a particular game.
10. Your occupation or line of work.
11. Frivolous or trifling behavior.

The context clearly relates to sports, specifically to matches or contests within a championship. The term "game" is used to refer to individual matches or contests within this broader competition.

Senses 4, 7, 9, 10, and 11 are not relevant to the context as they relate to hunting, food, equipment, occupation, and frivolous behavior, respectively.

Sense 3 (an amusement or pastime) and sense 8 (a secret scheme) could potentially be considered, but they don't directly fit the context of discussing specific matches or contests within a sports championship.

Sense 5 (a division of play during which one player serves) is specific to tennis and, while it could be a valid interpretation in a tennis context, the text does not specifically mention tennis.

Sense 6 (the score at a particular point or the score needed to win) is relevant to games in general but is more about the state of the game rather than the game itself.

Between senses 1 and 2, which both relate to contests or plays of a sport, sense 2 (a single play of a sport or other contest) is the most appropriate. The text discusses the implications of actions taken during one game on subsequent games, indicating that "game" refers to individual instances of competition.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "game" in the given context is sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "suspension" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a sports championship where players accumulate cards, and there's a mention of a "suspension by card accumulation." This implies that the suspension is related to a penalty or a consequence of accumulating cards during the games.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A mixture in which fine particles are suspended in a fluid - This is unrelated to the context of sports or penalties.
2. A time interval during which there is a temporary cessation of something - While this involves a temporary stop, it's not directly related to the penalty or consequence in a sports context.
3. Temporary cessation or suspension - This is somewhat related but is too broad and doesn't directly imply a penalty.
4. An interruption in the intensity or amount of something - Again, this is somewhat related but doesn't directly fit the context of a penalty for card accumulation.
5. A mechanical system of springs or shock absorbers - This is unrelated to the context.
6. The act of suspending something (hanging it from above) - This doesn't fit the context of sports penalties.
7. A temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc) - This directly relates to the context, as it implies a penalty (being barred from participating) due to card accumulation.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is related to a penalty or consequence in a sports setting, which aligns with "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)".

The best sense for "suspension" in this context is indexed as 7, which corresponds to "a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)".

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "accumulation" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses a situation in a sports championship where players are sanctioned and accumulate cards, which can lead to their suspension in future games. The specific sentence with the target word is: "...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."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **an increase by natural growth or addition** - While this definition could broadly apply, the context doesn't specifically imply "natural growth."
2. **several things grouped together or considered as a whole** - This sense could apply as it refers to the cards being accumulated. However, it focuses more on the result (the group of cards) rather than the process.
3. **the act of accumulating** - This definition directly relates to the process of gathering or collecting something (in this case, cards) over time, which fits the context of players accumulating cards across games.
4. **(finance) profits that are not paid out as dividends but are added to the capital base of the corporation** - This sense is specific to finance and does not relate to the context provided.

Given the context, the most relevant sense is related to the process of gathering or collecting cards, which directly influences the suspension of players. The act of accumulating cards is what leads to the suspension.

Therefore, the best sense is related to "the act of accumulating," which corresponds to sense index 3.

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.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "rounds" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing a sports championship, specifically the advantage gained by players who are suspended for a game due to card accumulation. The sentence with the target word is: "So that, by passing rounds, it is not so clear that it is an advantage."

First, we need to understand the meaning of "rounds" in this context. The discussion revolves around a championship that has multiple phases or stages, and the term "rounds" is related to the progression or stages of this championship.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A charge of ammunition for a single shot - Not relevant to the context of a sports championship.
2. An interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs - This could potentially relate to stages or cycles in a championship.
3. A regular route for a sentry or policeman - Not directly related to the context.
4. A series of professional calls (usually in a set order) - While this involves a sequence, it's more related to professional visits rather than stages in a competition.
5. The activity of playing 18 holes of golf - Specific to golf and not directly applicable to the general context of a championship.
6. The usual activities in your day - Not relevant to the competitive or structural aspect of a championship.
7. A division during which one team is on the offensive - This is relevant to sports and could relate to stages or parts of a competition.
8. The course along which communications spread - Not directly related to the structural progression of a championship.
9. A serving to each of a group (usually alcoholic) - Not relevant to the context.
10. A cut of beef - Not relevant.
11. A partsong where voices follow each other - Not relevant.
12. An outburst of applause - Not relevant to the structural aspect of a championship.
13. A crosspiece between the legs of a chair - Not relevant.
14. Any circular or rotating mechanism - Not directly relevant.

Given the context, the most relevant senses are 2 (an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs) and 7 (a division during which one team is on the offensive), as both relate to the structure or progression of a competition or event.

Sense 2, "cycle, rhythm," implies a recurring sequence, which could fit the context of a championship progressing through stages. Sense 7, "turn, bout," directly relates to divisions or stages in sports competitions.

The sentence implies that as the championship progresses through its stages ("by passing rounds"), the advantage gained by certain actions becomes less clear. This context aligns well with sense 7, as it directly pertains to divisions or stages in a sports competition, fitting the discussion about the progression of a championship.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "rounds" in this context is sense 7, "a division during which one team is on the offensive."

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "advantage" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a situation in a sports championship where players from a team deliberately violate rules to gain an advantage. The advantage mentioned is that these players will start the next phase of the championship without accumulated cards that could threaten their participation in future games. The context revolves around the concept of gaining a beneficial or favorable position through a specific action.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=advantage%1:07:00::**: This sense refers to "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position." The synonyms include "vantage," and an example is "the experience gave him the advantage over me." This definition aligns closely with the context provided, where the action is taken to achieve a more favorable position (players starting without accumulated cards).
   - **2. sense_key=advantage%1:23:00::**: This sense is specific to tennis, referring to "first point scored after deuce." The context does not relate to tennis terminology specifically, making this sense less likely.
   - **3. sense_key=advantage%1:07:01::**: This sense is defined as "benefit resulting from some event or action," with "reward" as a synonym. An example given is "it turned out to my advantage." The context discusses the benefit (advantage) gained from a specific action (players violating rules), which aligns with this definition.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is about gaining a beneficial position or outcome from a specific action, which is related to both sense 1 and sense 3.
   - Sense 1 emphasizes the quality of having a superior position, which is relevant.
   - Sense 3 directly refers to a benefit resulting from an action, which is also highly relevant.
   - The examples and synonyms for both sense 1 ("vantage") and sense 3 ("reward") provide insight. "Vantage" suggests a favorable position, and "reward" implies a benefit gained.

4. **Decision**:
   - The passage discusses the concept of gaining a beneficial outcome or position through a deliberate action. Both senses 1 and 3 could fit this description. However, the context emphasizes the outcome or result of an action (benefit), which is more directly related to **sense 3**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "advantage" in the given context is **3**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "actions" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a situation in a sports championship where players take certain actions that are considered against the sporting spirit but are within the rules. The context revolves around the strategic decisions made by players and their implications.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "actions," which is a plural form of "action." We need to identify the sense that best fits this word in the given context.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. something done (usually as opposed to something said)**: This sense fits well because the passage talks about what the players did (their actions) in the context of a game and its strategic implications.
   - **2. the state of being active**: While related, this sense is more about the state of being active rather than specific deeds or acts.
   - **3. a military engagement**: This is too specific and related to military contexts, which doesn't fit the sports context provided.
   - **4. a process existing in or produced by nature**: This doesn't fit as the actions are related to human decisions and deeds in a sports context.
   - **5. the series of events that form a plot**: This is more relevant to narrative structures, not directly applicable to the context of actions taken by players in a game.
   - **6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful**: This describes a characteristic or quality rather than specific actions.
   - **7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism**: This is a mechanical or technical sense that doesn't fit the context.
   - **8. a judicial proceeding brought by one party against another**: While "action" can be used in legal contexts, the passage doesn't discuss legal proceedings.
   - **9. an act by a government body or supranational organization**: The context is about actions taken by players, not government or supranational bodies.
   - **10. the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field**: This sense is about the focal point of activity or interest, not directly about the actions themselves.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**: The passage discusses specific deeds or acts by players that are considered against the sporting spirit. The most relevant definition is **1. something done (usually as opposed to something said)**, as it directly relates to the actions taken by the players.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "actions" in the given context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "decisions" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context discusses strategic actions taken by players in a sports championship, specifically focusing on the implications of these actions and how they relate to the "sporting spirit" and the rules of the game. The term "decisions" is used in the phrase "strategic decisions that favor taking advantages allowed by the rules."

1. The first sense refers to "the act of making up your mind about something." While this is a common meaning of "decision," the context emphasizes the outcome or result of considering strategies rather than the act of deciding itself.

2. The second sense is "a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration." This aligns well with the context, as "strategic decisions" implies judgments or conclusions reached after considering various factors, in this case, strategies that take advantage of the rules.

3. The third and fourth senses are specific to boxing and the outcome of a game or contest, respectively. These are not relevant to the context provided, which discusses strategic actions in a broader sports context, not limited to boxing or the outcome of a single game.

4. The fifth sense refers to "the trait of resoluteness as evidenced by firmness of character or purpose." While this is a characteristic that might influence decisions, it doesn't directly relate to the meaning of "decisions" as used in the context.

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense is the second one, as it directly relates to judgments or conclusions (in this case, strategic decisions) reached after consideration.
