Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two <t>players</t> of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them.

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

The context revolves around a discussion about a specific incident involving two football players, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, from Real Madrid, during a European Champions League game against Ajax. The discussion involves the behavior of these players, specifically their deliberate actions to waste time, resulting in them being shown a second yellow card by the referee.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A person who participates in or is skilled at some game** - The context clearly indicates that Alonso and Ramos are involved in a football game, which is a sport. This sense aligns with the context as football is a game and the individuals mentioned are participants in it.

2. **Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)** - There's no mention or implication of music or musical instruments in the context. Thus, this sense is not relevant.

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

4. **A person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously** - The discussion is about the behavior of football players during a game and not about their personal or social lives. So, this sense is not relevant.

5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While the players are important in the context of the football game, the discussion is not about business deals. The relevance of this sense is low given the context is about a sports event.

Given the context and the information provided, the most appropriate sense for "players" is the first one: **a person who participates in or is skilled at some game**. This is because the text discusses football players and their actions during a game.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 1.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around a sports event, specifically a football (soccer) match between Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. The discussion involves players (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) getting expelled from the game due to deliberately wasting time, leading to a second yellow card.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "game," and it appears twice in the context. The first occurrence is in the phrase "in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax," and the second is in "a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won)."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. a contest with rules to determine a winner**: This is a broad definition that could apply to sports.
   - **2. a single play of a sport or other contest**: This directly relates to an instance or occurrence of a sport or contest.
   - **3. an amusement or pastime**: While sports can be considered pastimes, this sense doesn't directly relate to a competitive match.
   - Other senses relate to hunting, food, specific divisions in tennis, scoring, equipment, occupation, and behavior, which are less directly related to the context.

4. **Relating Senses to Context**: The context clearly refers to a specific instance of a football match. The first occurrence of "game" refers to the match played on a specific date, and the second occurrence refers to the same match, focusing on the timing of an event within it.

5. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is relevant but more general.
   - Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") directly corresponds to the context, as it refers to a specific match or instance of a sport.
   - The examples given for Sense 2 ("the game lasted two hours") also fit the context, as the narrative discusses events happening during and at the end of a game.

6. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "game" in the given context is Sense 2, as it directly refers to a single instance or play of a sport (in this case, a football match).

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 2.

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

The context discusses a controversy involving football players and the subsequent discussion or writing about the issue, mentioning that it has "caused rivers of ink to be written about" whether the behavior was unsportsmanlike and if the players should be sanctioned.

1. The phrase "rivers of ink" is an idiom that refers to a large amount of writing or discussion about something.
2. The WordNet glosses provided are:
   - sense_key=ink%1:27:01:: | definition=a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing
   - sense_key=ink%1:08:00:: | definition=dark protective fluid ejected into the water by cuttlefish and other cephalopods

Given the context, the phrase "rivers of ink" is related to the act of writing, as it metaphorically describes the extensive amount of writing or discussion generated about the topic.

The first sense (1. sense_key=ink%1:27:01::) refers to "a liquid used for printing or writing or drawing," which is directly related to the act of writing. The idiom "rivers of ink" uses "ink" to metaphorically represent the written content or the act of writing itself.

The second sense (2. sense_key=ink%1:08:00::) refers to a biological secretion of cephalopods, which is unrelated to the context of writing or discussion.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense for "ink" in the given context is the one related to writing.

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

The context discusses a specific incident involving two soccer players, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, who deliberately wasted time, resulting in them being shown a second yellow card. The discussion revolves around whether their actions are considered unsportsmanlike and if they should be sanctioned by UEFA.

1. The first sense defines "behavior" as the "manner of acting or controlling yourself" with synonyms like "behaviour, conduct, doings." This sense is quite general and could apply to the context as it refers to the manner in which Alonso and Ramos acted.

2. The second sense refers to "the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances." This is more related to the behavior of non-human entities, such as machines or substances, which doesn't directly apply to the actions of people.

3. The third sense is defined as "(behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people" with synonyms like "demeanor, demeanour, behaviour, conduct, deportment." This sense directly relates to how individuals interact with others, which fits the context as it discusses the players' actions towards others (the referee, the opposing team, and the perception of their actions by others).

4. The fourth sense is related to "(psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation." While this could technically apply, it's more focused on the psychological aspect and is broader, encompassing all reactions or movements.

Given the context, the discussion is centered around the players' actions and how they are perceived by others, particularly in terms of sportsmanship. The third sense directly addresses "the way a person behaves toward other people," which aligns with the context of evaluating Alonso and Ramos's actions in relation to others (referee, UEFA, other teams).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "behavior" in this context is the third sense.

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 football (soccer) game between Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. It mentions that two players, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, deliberately wasted time, resulting in them receiving a second yellow card. The context is clearly about a sports team.

2. **Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=team%1:14:00::**: This sense defines "team" as a cooperative unit, especially in sports, with "squad" as a synonym.
   - **2. sense_key=team%1:14:01::**: This sense defines "team" as two or more draft animals that work together to pull something.

3. **Analysis**:
   - The context is about sports, specifically football, and mentions "their team had already won," directly relating to a sports team.
   - The synonym provided for the first sense, "squad," is commonly used in sports to refer to a team.
   - The second sense refers to draft animals, which is unrelated to the context provided.

4. **Conclusion**: Given the context is about sports and the first sense directly relates to a cooperative unit in sports, the best indexed sense for "team" in this context is the first one.

Therefore, the response should be: {"sense_index": 1}

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a football (soccer) game between Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. It mentions that two players from Real Madrid deliberately wasted time, which led to the referee showing them a second yellow card. The context is clearly related to sports, specifically football.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Relates to sports, defining a referee as the chief official who ensures fair play.
   - **Sense 2**: Pertains to someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication.
   - **Sense 3**: Refers to an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is about a football game and the actions of a referee in that setting.
   - Sense 1 directly relates to the role of a referee in sports, ensuring fair play, which aligns with the context provided.
   - Senses 2 and 3 are unrelated to the sports context; they pertain to publication and legal proceedings, respectively.

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

The sentence is: "This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

The word "way" here is used to indicate a method or manner in which something is done or happens, leading to a particular outcome. The phrase "this way" suggests that due to the actions taken (deliberately wasting time and getting a second yellow card), the players will be able to serve their sanction in a subsequent game.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **manner, mode, style, fashion** - This sense fits as "this way" indicates the manner in which the players' situation is managed or the outcome is achieved.
2. **means, agency** - While related, this sense is more about the method or instrument used to achieve something, which is somewhat applicable but not as directly fitting as the first sense.
3. **direction** - This doesn't directly fit as "this way" is not indicating a physical direction but rather a consequence or outcome.
4. **the condition of things generally** - This is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the usage in the sentence.
5. **a course of conduct** - While this could be considered, it's more about a general path or behavior over time, not as directly related to the immediate context as the first sense.
6. **any artifact consisting of a road or path** - This is a literal interpretation and doesn't fit the context.
7. **a journey or passage** - Not directly relevant as "this way" is not describing a journey.
8. **space for movement** - Not relevant to the context.
9. **the property of distance in general** - Not relevant.
10. **doing as one pleases or chooses** - Not directly relevant.
11. **a general category of things** - Not relevant to the usage here.
12. **a portion of something divided into shares** - Not relevant.

The best fit is the first sense, which relates to "how something is done or how it happens," as it aligns with the usage of "this way" to indicate the manner or method by which the players will fulfill their sanction.

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

The context is about a sports event, specifically the European Champions League, where Real Madrid is mentioned as finishing as the leader of its "group". The discussion revolves around the behavior of players and the sanctions imposed by UEFA.

1. The first candidate sense defines "group" as "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" with the synonym "grouping". This sense is quite general and can apply to various contexts where entities are considered together as a unit.

2. The second candidate sense is related to chemistry, defining "group" as "two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule" with synonyms "radical" and "chemical group". This sense is specific to chemistry and doesn't fit the sports context.

3. The third candidate sense is related to mathematics, defining "group" as "a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse" with the synonym "mathematical group". This sense is specific to mathematical contexts and doesn't fit the given sports context.

Given the context is about sports, specifically the structure of the European Champions League, where teams are divided into groups, the most relevant sense is the first one. It refers to a collection of teams (entities) considered as a unit for the purpose of the tournament structure.

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

The context revolves around a sports event, specifically a football (soccer) game involving Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. The discussion is about the behavior of two Real Madrid players, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, who deliberately wasted time, leading to their expulsion from the game. The context further mentions the implications of their actions, including sanctions by UEFA and the effect on their participation in subsequent games.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A person who participates in or is skilled at some game** - This sense is directly related to sports and games, which aligns with the context provided.
2. **Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)** - There's no mention of music or musical instruments in the context.
3. **A theatrical performer** - The context does not 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, which focuses on sports.
5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While this could metaphorically apply to players in a significant game, the context specifically refers to athletes, not business or financial transactions.

Given the context is about football players and their actions during a game, the most relevant definition is the first one: "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game." This directly corresponds to athletes participating in a sport.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a football (soccer) game involving Real Madrid and Ajax in the European Champions League. It mentions the expulsion of two Real Madrid players and the implications of their actions on future games, specifically referencing the next game of the "league" against Auxerre.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "league" is used in the context of a competition involving football teams.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=league%1:14:01::**: This defines "league" as an association of sports teams that organizes matches for its members. The synonym given is "conference." The context provided involves the European Champions League, which is a competition among top European football clubs, fitting this definition.
   - **2. sense_key=league%1:14:00::**: This defines "league" as an association of states or organizations or individuals for common action. While this is a valid definition of "league," it doesn't directly relate to sports competitions.
   - **3. sense_key=league%1:23:00::**: This defines "league" as an obsolete unit of distance. This is unrelated to the context of sports competitions or teams.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "league" refers to a competition or tournament involving football teams.
   - The first definition directly relates to sports teams and competitions, making it highly relevant.
   - The mention of "European Champions League" and the structure of the competition (e.g., group stages, next game against another team) aligns with the first definition.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "league" is the one related to an association of sports teams.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **1**, corresponding to the definition related to sports teams.

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 about a football (soccer) game and the consequences of certain actions taken by players and a team. Specifically, it discusses how certain players deliberately wasted time to receive a sanction (yellow cards) so that they would be suspended for a future game, thereby avoiding playing in a particular upcoming game while suspended. The text mentions that after receiving the sanction, these players "will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=phase%1:28:00::** - This sense refers to "any distinct time period in a sequence of events." The synonym given is "stage." The example provided is "we are in a transitional stage in which many former ideas must be revised or rejected." The context of the sentence discusses a sequence of games or events in a sports competition, and "phase" is used to refer to a particular point or period in this sequence, which aligns with the idea of a "stage" in a broader sense.

2. **sense_key=phase%1:26:00::** - This definition pertains to "(physical chemistry) a distinct state of matter in a system." The synonym is "form." This sense is not relevant to the context, as the discussion is not about states of matter.

3. **sense_key=phase%1:28:01::** - This refers to "a particular point in the time of a cycle; measured from some arbitrary zero and expressed as an angle." The synonym is "phase angle." While this involves a concept of timing or cycle, it's more technical and related to cycles measured in angles, not directly applicable to the sequence of games or events.

4. **sense_key=phase%1:07:00::** - This is "(astronomy) the particular appearance of a body's state of illumination." This sense is related to astronomy, particularly the phases of the moon, and is not relevant to the context.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it refers to a distinct time period or stage in a sequence of events, which fits the discussion about a sequence of games and the players' status regarding sanctions in those games.

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

Target lemma: committee
Target surface form: committee
Context:
Sport and fraud law Tricks such as those of Alonso and Ramos before the Ajax demonstrate wittiness but not the will to get remove of a sanction. The expulsion presumably forged by two players of Real Madrid (Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos) in the game played on the 23rd of November against Ajax in European Champions League has caused rivers of ink to be written about if such behavior is or is not unsportsmanlike and if, both players should be sanctioned by UEFA. As we all know, a few minutes before the end of the game (that their team had already won), both players deliberately wasted time which made the referee show the second yellow card to both of them. This way, and since Real Madrid will finish as leader of its group, both players will fulfil the prescribed sanction during the next game of league, against Auxerre, and will be able to get rid of the cards the following phase. Finally, the <t>committee</t> of discipline of the UEFA has sanctioned with two games the trainer of the team, Jose Mourinho, and with different economic amounts the implied players. The provocation of a yellow card in similar circumstances as this one is not a new practice, but rather frequent in the world of football.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=committee%1:14:00:: | definition=a special group delegated to consider some matter;  - Milton Berle | synonyms=commission | examples=a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours
2. sense_key=committee%1:14:01:: | definition=a self-constituted organization to promote something | synonyms=citizens committee

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The text discusses a situation involving football (soccer) and a disciplinary action taken by the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations). Specifically, it mentions the "committee of discipline of the UEFA" sanctioning a team trainer and players.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "committee" refers to a group of people appointed or elected to make decisions or recommendations regarding a particular issue or set of issues.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: `committee%1:14:00::` is defined as "a special group delegated to consider some matter." The synonym given is "commission," and an example is provided: "a committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours." This definition aligns with the context of a disciplinary body making decisions.
   - **Sense 2**: `committee%1:14:01::` is defined as "a self-constituted organization to promote something" with the synonym "citizens committee." This doesn't directly relate to a disciplinary or decision-making body within an organizational structure like UEFA.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**: The context clearly indicates that the "committee" in question is related to making disciplinary decisions within UEFA, which fits the description of "a special group delegated to consider some matter." The action of sanctioning individuals is a specific task delegated to this group, aligning with the first sense.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the "committee of discipline of the UEFA" is best described by the first sense, which is related to a group delegated to consider a specific matter, in this case, disciplinary actions.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "committee" is the first one.

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

The context is discussing the sanctions imposed by the UEFA on the players involved in a specific incident during a football game. The sentence mentions that the implied players were sanctioned with "different economic amounts."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Definition: A quantity of money** - The context mentions "different economic amounts," which directly relates to quantities of money. The examples provided, such as "he borrowed a large sum; the amount he had in cash was insufficient," also support this interpretation as they deal with financial quantities.

2. **Definition: The relative magnitude of something with reference to a criterion** - While this sense could potentially fit in a broad interpretation, the context specifically talks about "economic amounts," which leans more towards a financial or quantitative interpretation rather than a relative magnitude.

3. **Definition: How much there is or how many there are of something that you can quantify** - This is a broad definition that could encompass various types of quantities, not just monetary. However, the context specifies "economic amounts," indicating a financial quantity.

4. **Definition: A quantity obtained by the addition of a group of numbers** - This definition refers to a sum or total, which is related to but not as directly relevant as the first sense because the context does not explicitly discuss the process of adding numbers together.

Given the context and the definitions, the most relevant sense is the one related to "a quantity of money" because the sentence explicitly mentions "economic amounts" as the sanction imposed on the players. This directly corresponds to the first candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "amounts" in the given context is the one that corresponds to a quantity of money.

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

The context revolves around a discussion about football (soccer), specifically about an incident involving players from Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos, and their actions during a European Champions League game against Ajax. The text mentions the expulsion of these players, their deliberate wasting of time, the referee's actions, and subsequent sanctions by UEFA. The discussion is centered on the behavior of these individuals within the context of a sport.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A person who participates in or is skilled at some game** - This definition aligns closely with the context provided, as the individuals being discussed are football players participating in a game.
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 does not relate to theater or performance arts.
4. **A person who pursues a number of different social and sexual partners simultaneously** - The discussion is about football players and their actions on the field, not their personal or social lives.
5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While the players are important in their sport, the context does not relate to business deals.

Given the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense is the one that relates to participating in a game, which is directly relevant to the discussion about football players.

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