Target lemma: rule
Target surface form: rules
Context:
Part of the debate arisen in the related case is caused by the fact that has been carried out by team of the Real Madrid organization (that in its hymn presumes of nobility and honor, and that has fined its players for analogous acts) and by the dramatization orchestrated, apparently, by Mourinho, who adds one more to his expanded history of histrionic and provoking technician. Anyway, the debate deals with if that type of behavior not prohibited specifically by the regulation contradicts the principles of the sport, that is to say, if with these actions fraud is committed; then, indeed, they are respectful actions with the sport regulation, but they seem to elude its sense. The matter examines the type of damage that is brought to the sporting spirit. One of the advantages that include the sport spirit is the physical integrity of the opposite players, aspect that with these actions wasn't put into danger, that is to say, there was no violent game. Another of these advantages to which it is alluded to with the fare-play is to avoid that the team of the lawbreaker players takes advantage unjustly of the opposite team, which did not happen either. 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 <t>rules</t> 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.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a debate related to a sports case involving the Real Madrid organization and its actions during a game, potentially contradicting the principles of the sport. It mentions the "sport regulation," "sporting spirit," "physical integrity of the opposite players," and "fair-play." The context clearly indicates that the discussion is centered around a sports event.

2. **Target Word Analysis**: The target word is "referee." In the context, it is mentioned that the players "received punishment from the referee." This indicates that the referee is an official involved in enforcing the rules during the sports event.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "someone who reads manuscripts and judges their suitability for publication" - This sense is unrelated to sports and involves academic or literary publication.
   - **Sense 2**: "an attorney appointed by a court to investigate and report on a case" - This is a legal context, not related to sports.
   - **Sense 3 (1:18:00::)**: "(sports) the chief official (as in boxing or American football) who is expected to ensure fair play" - This definition directly relates to sports, mentioning the role of ensuring fair play, which aligns with the context provided.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Given the context is about a sports event and the role of the "referee" is to enforce rules and ensure fair play (as indicated by the players receiving punishment from the referee), the most appropriate sense is the one related to sports.

5. **Indexed Sense**: The sports-related definition is associated with **sense_index=1**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "referee" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 1}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a debate about whether certain behaviors in sports contradict the principles of the sport, even if they are not explicitly prohibited by the regulations. It mentions that the players of Real Madrid did not comply with what is normally considered "legal fraud" because their violation of the rules was not secretive, and they accepted the sanction without any "complaints".

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "complaints" is used in the context of the players accepting a sanction. The relevant sentence is: "They waited for and accepted the sanction with no complaints."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. complaint%1:26:00::**: Relates to a bodily disorder or disease. This is not relevant to the context.
   - **2. complaint%1:10:02::**: Refers to a loud cry of pain, rage, or sorrow. While this could be a form of complaint, the context suggests a more formal or general expression of grievance rather than a loud cry.
   - **3. complaint%1:10:00::**: An expression of grievance or resentment. This aligns with the context, as "accepted the sanction with no complaints" implies that the players did not express any grievance or resentment about the sanction.
   - **4. complaint%1:10:03::**: Relates to a legal pleading in civil law. The context is not about legal proceedings in this sense.
   - **5. complaint%1:10:04::**: Pertains to a pleading describing a wrong or offense in criminal law. Again, the context is not about filing a legal complaint.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most suitable sense for "complaints" is an expression of grievance or resentment, as it fits the scenario of the players not expressing dissatisfaction with the sanction they received.

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

Context:
The matter examines the type of damage that is brought to the sporting spirit. One of the advantages that include the sport spirit is the physical integrity of the opposite players, aspect that with these actions wasn't put into danger, that is to say, there was no violent game. Another of these advantages to which it is alluded to with the fare-play is to avoid that the team of the lawbreaker players takes advantage unjustly of the opposite team, which did not happen either. 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 <t>question</t> 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=question%1:10:00:: | definition=an instance of questioning | synonyms=inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation | examples=there was a question about my training; we made inquiries of all those who were present

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the concept of fair play in sports, specifically focusing on an incident involving players from Real Madrid. It examines whether their actions violated the spirit of the game and discusses the implications of their behavior.

2. **Target Word Context**: The sentence containing the target word is, "Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out." Here, "question" refers to a matter or issue that is being considered or discussed.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. an instance of questioning**: This sense refers to the act of asking for information. The context doesn't directly imply someone is asking a question; rather, it introduces a topic for discussion.
   - **2. the subject matter at issue**: This sense refers to the topic or issue being discussed. The example given, "the question of disease merits serious discussion," aligns with the usage in the passage, where "question" introduces a topic for consideration.
   - **3. a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply**: This implies a direct interrogative sentence, which is not the case here as "question" is used to introduce a topic, not a direct inquiry.
   - **4. uncertainty about the truth or factuality or existence of something**: While this sense involves doubt, the passage uses "question" to introduce a topic rather than express doubt about its truth or existence.
   - **5. a formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote**: This is a very formal context, not applicable to the passage.
   - **6. an informal reference to a marriage proposal**: This is unrelated to the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**: The passage uses "question" to introduce a topic or issue for discussion or consideration, which aligns with sense **2. the subject matter at issue**. The synonym "head" and the example "the question of disease merits serious discussion" support this interpretation, as "question" is used similarly in the passage to introduce the topic of what type of advantage was obtained.

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

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

The context revolves around discussing the "type of damage" and "type of advantage" in the context of sports, specifically focusing on the spirit of the game and the actions of players. The discussion is about categorizing or identifying the kind of damage or advantage that occurred during a game.

1. The first sense provided is "a subdivision of a particular kind of thing" with the example "what type of sculpture do you prefer?" This sense aligns with using "type" to inquire about or specify a category or kind of something.

2. The second sense refers to "a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities)" which doesn't fit the context as "type" is not used to describe a person.

3. The third sense is related to biology and taxonomy, which is not relevant to the context.

4, 5, and 6 relate to printing or characters, which also don't fit the context.

Given the context, the use of "type" is to inquire about or specify a category or kind of "damage" or "advantage." This matches the first sense: "a subdivision of a particular kind of thing."

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

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 the concept of "sporting spirit" and "fair play" in the context of a football (soccer) game involving Real Madrid. It highlights that despite certain actions by the players that violated the rules, the spirit of the game was not compromised because the violations were not secretive and the players accepted the sanctions. The text then questions the type of advantage gained by the violators through their deliberate actions.

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: The sentence where the target word appears is, "Another question is what type of advantage the violators obtained in the actions deliberately carried out." Here, "advantage" refers to a benefit or a favorable outcome resulting from the actions of the players.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=advantage%1:07:00::**: This sense refers to "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position." The synonym given is "vantage," and an example is "the experience gave him the advantage over me." This sense is about having a superior position or condition relative to others.
   - **2. sense_key=advantage%1:23:00::**: This is a specific term used in tennis, referring to "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 defined as "benefit resulting from some event or action," with "reward" as a synonym. An example given is "it turned out to my advantage," indicating a positive outcome or gain from a situation.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is about assessing the benefit or outcome (favorable or not) of certain actions taken by football players.
   - Sense 2 is irrelevant as it pertains to tennis.
   - Between senses 1 and 3, sense 3 ("benefit resulting from some event or action") is more directly related to the context. The discussion revolves around whether the actions of the players resulted in a benefit or a favorable outcome for them, which aligns with the definition and examples provided for sense 3.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "advantage" in the given context is **3**.

Target lemma: situation
Target surface form: situation
Context:
One of the advantages that include the sport spirit is the physical integrity of the opposite players, aspect that with these actions wasn't put into danger, that is to say, there was no violent game. Another of these advantages to which it is alluded to with the fare-play is to avoid that the team of the lawbreaker players takes advantage unjustly of the opposite team, which did not happen either. 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 <t>situation</t> 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.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the concept of "fair play" in sports, specifically focusing on an incident involving players from Real Madrid. It highlights that despite violating rules, their actions were not secretive and they accepted the sanctions. The text then questions the type of advantage these violators gained from their deliberate actions. The sentence containing the target word "situation" is: "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."

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: In this sentence, "situation" refers to the state or condition that the rival team is in as a result of the actions carried out by the players of Real Madrid. The discussion revolves around whether these actions put the rival team at a disadvantage.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=situation%1:26:00::**: This sense refers to "the general state of things; the combination of circumstances at a given time." The example given is "the present international situation is dangerous." The synonym provided is "state of affairs." This sense seems plausible because it discusses a general state or condition.
   - **2. sense_key=situation%1:26:01::**: This defines "a condition or position in which you find yourself." The synonym is "position," and an example is "the unpleasant situation (or position) of having to choose between two evils." This sense is also relevant as it talks about being in a certain condition or position.
   - **3. sense_key=situation%1:26:02::**: This refers to "a complex or critical or unusual difficulty." An example is "the dangerous situation developed suddenly." While this could potentially fit, the context doesn't strongly suggest a "complex or critical or unusual difficulty" as much as it describes a condition or state.
   - **4. sense_key=situation%1:15:00::**: This is about "physical position in relation to the surroundings," with "site" as a synonym. The context doesn't seem to fit this sense as it doesn't discuss physical positioning.
   - **5. sense_key=situation%1:04:00::**: This refers to "a job in an organization," with synonyms like "position," "post," "berth," "office," "spot," "billet." This sense is not relevant to the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context suggests that "situation" is being used to describe the condition or state that the rival team is in due to the actions of the Real Madrid players.
   - Both senses 1 and 2 seem plausible because they both relate to a state or condition. However, sense 2 ("a condition or position in which you find yourself") is more specific to the condition of being in a certain state (disadvantageous or not), which fits the context of discussing whether the rival team was put at a disadvantage.
   - Sense 1 is broader and refers to the general state of things or circumstances, which could also apply but is less specific to the condition of the rival team.

Given the context and the examples, **sense_index: 2** is the most appropriate because it directly relates to the condition or state of being in a certain position (in this case, whether the rival team is at a disadvantage).

2. sense_key=benefit%1:07:00:: | definition=something that aids or promotes well-being | synonyms=welfare | examples=for the benefit of all

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

The context discusses the concept of "fair play" in sports, specifically focusing on an incident involving players from Real Madrid who deliberately violated rules but did so openly and accepted the resulting sanctions. The discussion revolves around whether their actions provided an unfair advantage or "benefit" to their team.

The target sentence is: "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."

1. The first candidate sense is related to "financial assistance in time of need." The context does not mention financial assistance, so this sense is not relevant.

2. The second candidate sense refers to "something that aids or promotes well-being." The discussion is about whether the actions of the players provided an advantage or "benefit" to their team during the game or in a subsequent game. The term "benefit" here relates to an advantage that aids or promotes the well-being or success of the team.

3. The third candidate sense is about "a performance to raise money for a charitable cause," which is not relevant to the context provided.

Given the context, the use of "benefit" is related to the concept of an advantage that could potentially aid or promote the success of the team. This aligns with the second candidate sense, which is about something that aids or promotes well-being.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "benefit" in this context is the second one.

raw_output:
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 event, specifically focusing on the behavior of players from Real Madrid during a match, and the implications of their actions on the game and subsequent games. The text mentions "the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players" and references "the same game" and "the next 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. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves.
5. (Games) the score at a particular point or the score needed to win.

Given the context, the word "game" is used to refer to a specific instance or match of a sport (in this case, likely football or soccer given the mention of Real Madrid). The text distinguishes between "the same game" and "the next game," indicating that "game" here refers to an individual match or contest rather than the sport or activity in general.

Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is a general definition that could apply, but it's more abstract than what's needed for this specific context. Sense 3 ("an amusement or pastime") doesn't fit well because, while sports can be considered pastimes, the context is more focused on the competitive aspect than the recreational.

Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") directly corresponds to the usage in the text, where "game" refers to a specific match. The example given ("the game lasted two hours") also aligns with this interpretation.

Senses 4 and 6 are too specific to tennis and don't apply to the context provided.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense for "game" in the given context is Sense 2, "a single play of a sport or other contest," which corresponds to sense_index 2.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the concept of "fair play" in sports, specifically focusing on an incident involving players from Real Madrid. It highlights that despite violating rules, their actions were not secretive and they accepted the sanctions. The text then questions the type of advantage these violators gained from their deliberate actions. The sentence containing the target word "result" states that the outcome of their action led to their team having fewer players, which is not beneficial.

2. **Understanding the Target Word's Context**: The word "result" is used in the phrase "the result of the action supposes leaving their own team with less players." Here, it refers to the outcome or consequence of the players' actions.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. consequence, effect, outcome, event, issue, upshot**: This sense refers to a phenomenon caused by a previous phenomenon. While related, the context doesn't directly imply a cause-and-effect relationship in a broad sense; it's more about the outcome of a specific action.
   - **2. solution, answer, resolution, solvent**: This sense is related to solving a problem or explaining how to solve it, which doesn't fit the context of discussing the outcome of an action in a sports game.
   - **3. resultant, final result, outcome, termination**: This sense refers to something that results from a particular action or set of circumstances. The examples given, such as "he listened for the results on the radio," suggest it can be used to talk about the outcome of events, like sports results.
   - **4. resultant role**: This is a semantic role related to the existence of a noun phrase due to the activity denoted by the verb. It seems more abstract and related to grammatical or semantic analysis rather than the direct outcome of an action.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "result" is being used to talk about the outcome of a specific action (the players' violation of rules).
   - Sense **3. resultant, final result, outcome, termination** directly corresponds to this usage, as it refers to the outcome or consequence of an action or event. The example "he listened for the results on the radio" aligns with the sports context, where "results" are often reported.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the provided candidate senses, the most appropriate sense for "result" is **3**.

Therefore, the response in the required JSON format is: {"sense_index": 3}

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the behavior of football players, specifically those of Real Madrid, in relation to violating game rules and the consequences they faced. It highlights the spirit of the sport, the concept of fair play, and how the actions of these players, although violating rules, were not secretive and were punished accordingly.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "action" is used in various contexts within the passage, referring to the deeds or activities performed by the players.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. something done (usually as opposed to something said)**: This definition fits well as the passage discusses the deeds of the players.
   - **2. the state of being active**: While related, this is more about the condition of being active rather than specific deeds.
   - **3. a military engagement**: This doesn't directly relate to the context of sports or player behavior.
   - **4. a process existing in or produced by nature**: Not relevant to the context of human actions in a sport.
   - **5. the series of events that form a plot**: More relevant to narrative structures, not directly applicable here.
   - **6. the trait of being active and energetic and forceful**: Describes a characteristic rather than specific actions.
   - **7. the operating part that transmits power to a mechanism**: Relates to mechanical or technical contexts, not relevant here.
   - **8. a judicial proceeding**: Not directly relevant as the context is sports, not legal proceedings.
   - **9. an act by a government body or supranational organization**: Not relevant as the context is sports.
   - **10. the most important or interesting work or activity in a specific area or field**: While "action" can be used this way, the context here is more about specific deeds.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The passage is discussing specific deeds or activities performed by football players. The most relevant definition is **1. something done (usually as opposed to something said)**, as it directly relates to the actions or deeds of the players.

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

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 sports context, specifically mentioning "the sport spirit," "players," "opposite team," "Real Madrid," and "referee." This indicates that the discussion is centered around a team sport, likely football (soccer), given the mention of "Real Madrid," a well-known football club.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: `sense_key=team%1:14:00::` | `definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)` | `synonyms=squad`. This definition directly relates to the context provided, as it mentions a "cooperative unit" in sports, aligning with the discussion about teams in a sport.
   - **Sense 2**: `sense_key=team%1:14:01::` | `definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something`. This definition is unrelated to the sports context described, as it pertains to draft animals working together.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates a sports-related discussion, making **Sense 1** (`a cooperative unit (especially in sports)`) the most relevant definition. The mention of "team" refers to a group of players working together in a sport, which aligns with this sense.
   - **Sense 2** is irrelevant to the context as it refers to draft animals.

4. **Conclusion**: Given that the context is about sports and teams within that context, the most appropriate sense is the first one listed.

The response should be in the format: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

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.

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 sports context, specifically mentioning "the sport spirit," "players," "opposite team," "Real Madrid," and "referee." This indicates that the discussion is centered around a team sport, likely football (soccer), given the mention of "Real Madrid," a well-known football club.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: `sense_key=team%1:14:00::` | `definition=a cooperative unit (especially in sports)` | `synonyms=squad`. This definition directly relates to the context provided, as it mentions a "cooperative unit" in sports, aligning with the discussion about teams in a sport.
   - **Sense 2**: `sense_key=team%1:14:01::` | `definition=two or more draft animals that work together to pull something`. This definition is unrelated to the sports context described, as it pertains to draft animals working together.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates a sports-related discussion, making **Sense 1** (`a cooperative unit (especially in sports)`) the most relevant definition. The mention of "team" refers to a group of players working together in a sport, which aligns with this sense.
   - **Sense 2** is irrelevant to the context as it refers to draft animals.

4. **Conclusion**: Given that the context is about sports and teams within that context, the most appropriate sense is the first one listed.

The response should be in the format: `{"sense_index": 1}`.

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

The context discusses a situation involving football players from Real Madrid who deliberately violate rules, are sanctioned, and the implications of these actions. The text specifically mentions that the violation and subsequent sanction do not provide a useful "strategy" for the next game because the club will not be able to count on those players due to the sanction.

The two candidate senses provided for "strategy" are:
1. An elaborate and systematic plan of action.
2. The branch of military science dealing with military command and the planning and conduct of a war.

Given the context, the discussion revolves around the actions taken by football players and their implications for future games. The term "strategy" here refers to a plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal in the context of a game or a competition.

The first sense, "an elaborate and systematic plan of action," fits this context as it relates to a plan or scheme devised to achieve an advantage or to accomplish something in the context of sports or competition. The synonym provided, "scheme," also aligns with this interpretation.

The second sense is more specific to military science and does not directly relate to the context of a sports competition.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense for "strategy" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to 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 teams, players, and a championship. The specific sentence with 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."

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. (Tennis) a division of play during which one player serves.
5. The score at a particular point or the score needed to win.

Given the context is about a championship and teams playing, the most relevant senses are likely related to sports contests.

- Sense 1 ("a contest with rules to determine a winner") is a broad definition that could apply, but it's more general.
- Sense 2 ("a single play of a sport or other contest") directly relates to a specific instance or match within a larger competition, like a championship.
- Sense 4 is specific to tennis, which isn't explicitly mentioned in the context, making it less likely.
- Sense 5 refers to the score, which doesn't directly fit the usage in the sentence.

The sentence refers to "a future game," indicating a future instance or match of the sport or contest. This aligns well with sense 2, "a single play of a sport or other contest," as it refers to an individual match or instance of competition within the larger structure of a championship.

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

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 discussion about teams, specifically mentioning "the team of the lawbreaker players," "the players of Real Madrid," and the impact of certain actions on the team and its players, including the consequence of having fewer players due to sanctions. The discussion is centered around a sports event, likely a football (soccer) match, given the mention of "Real Madrid," a well-known football club, and the reference to receiving punishment from a "referee," which is a key figure in football.

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. The context clearly indicates that "players" refers to individuals who are part of a football team.

2. **Someone who plays a musical instrument (as a profession)** - There's no indication in the context that the discussion is about music or musicians, so this sense is unlikely.

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

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 sports and team dynamics.

5. **An important participant (as in a business deal)** - While this sense could potentially apply in a broad interpretation, the specific context provided is about sports, not business or corporate dealings.

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense for "players" is related to individuals participating in a sport, specifically football.

The best indexed sense is **1**, corresponding to the definition "a person who participates in or is skilled at some game."

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 involving football players from Real Madrid who deliberately violate rules, resulting in a sanction. It questions the type of advantage these violators gained from their actions. The context explains that the advantage isn't immediate or directly related to the current game but is rather a long-term benefit related to the accumulation of cards and potential future suspensions.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to having a superior or more favorable position. The example given is "the experience gave him the advantage over me."
   - **Sense 2**: Specific to tennis, referring to the first point scored after deuce.
   - **Sense 3**: Refers to a benefit resulting from some event or action, with "reward" as a synonym. Examples include "it turned out to my advantage" and "reaping the rewards of generosity."

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is about football (soccer), not tennis, so **Sense 2** is not applicable.
   - The discussion revolves around the benefit or positive outcome gained by the players' actions, which is related to avoiding future suspensions due to card accumulation.
   - Both **Sense 1** and **Sense 3** seem plausible because they relate to having a favorable position or gaining a benefit. However, the key is understanding the nuance between "having a superior or more favorable position" and "benefit resulting from some event or action."

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The passage indicates that the advantage is a result of the players' deliberate actions (violating rules) and is about gaining a benefit (avoiding future suspensions). This aligns closely with **Sense 3**, as it directly refers to a "benefit resulting from some event or action." The synonym "reward" and the examples provided also fit the context, as the players are reaping a benefit from their actions.
   - While **Sense 1** could be considered because it talks about having a favorable position, **Sense 3** is more directly related to the context because it emphasizes the benefit gained from an action.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "advantage" in the given context is **Sense 3**, as it directly relates to the benefit gained by the players from their actions.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 3}

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

The context discusses the action of players from Real Madrid and how their violation of rules, although evident and punished, resulted in a certain advantage. 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."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Definition: A piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred.**
   - Example: "first you must collect all the facts of the case"
   - The target sentence discusses a circumstance or a state of affairs (players starting without cards), which can be considered a piece of information about existing circumstances.

2. **Definition: A statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened.**
   - Example: "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"
   - The target sentence is not directly asserting a verified piece of information but is rather explaining a circumstance.

3. **Definition: An event known to have happened or something known to have existed.**
   - Example: "your fears have no basis in fact; how much of the story is fact and how much fiction is hard to tell"
   - The target sentence refers to a circumstance or state of affairs, not directly an event that happened or something that existed.

4. **Definition: A concept whose truth can be proved.**
   - Example: "scientific hypotheses are not facts"
   - The target sentence is not discussing a concept whose truth can be scientifically proved.

The sentence "The advantage, obviously, consists in the fact that the players will begin the following phase of the Championship without cards..." uses "fact" to refer to a circumstance or piece of information that is true or exists. The closest match is sense 1, as it refers to "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred." The phrase "the fact that" is commonly used to introduce a circumstance or a piece of information that is considered to be true or existing.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "fact" in this context is **1**.
