Guess what? Immediately in round 1, in the feature match on camera\u2026 a call about a Missed Trigger. \u201cOh, dear, this looks great,\u201d was my first thought. It couldn\u2019t be an easier one: <\/span><\/p><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyler activates Grasp of Arknight, creating a Runechant. They play Force of Nature, then attack.

Fixing would put Nick in a worse situation. I asked Nick, &#8220;If I rewind, would you have pitched to prevent the Runechant damage?&#8221;. They said they wouldn\u2019t. Therefore, there wasn\u2019t any difference. Nick accepted the arcane damage and the Runechant was destroyed. Nick wasn\u2019t too happy with the resolution but accepted it. Later, when the round was over and we had more time to explain, I looked for them and talked about the ruling with them, to help the player understand the ruling better. Nick was expecting me to destroy the Runechant without the damage. I told him that didn\u2019t make any sense, since the resolution is to destroy and damage. The options were \u201cdestroy and damage\u201d, or \u201clet the Runechant there\u201d. But they were thinking that the competitive environment should apply a more severe sanction, like \u201closing the Runechant\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you think?

The first round just went a couple minutes over the round time. The TO opted to use result slips &#8211; a topic we discussed about during preparation, days before. I thought it would notably affect End of Round turnover time and thought that using GEM would be better, but it actually worked fine and it wasn&#8217;t too disruptive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next call I had was a GRV where a player used his Quiver while frozen. Luckily, when they figured out the mistake it still was easily rewound, so I did it, gave him the penalty and left the table. About 5 seconds later, they were calling me again. The same player had drawn one extra card by mistake at the end of turn. The player was so embarrassed, and their opponent just wanted me to be the least disruptive possible, since they felt bad. It was quite impressive how nice they can be with each other in this community.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26afc3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26afc3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mass Draft is Coming<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c708ccd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c708ccd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the three Classic Constructed rounds, it was my turn, since I was in charge of the Draft Logistics.

All this situation was handled by Arturo, who will explain it better later in this article. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9703d9f\" data-id=\"9703d9f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-054bd7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"054bd7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0058.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2979\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0058.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0058-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0058-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-757b18d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"757b18d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2a41f8b\" data-id=\"2a41f8b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-364e11c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"364e11c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Spanish Food<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6dcb2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b6dcb2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We played one round before the general lunch break. In Spain, we usually have lunch between 2pm and 3pm, so the timing was quite good for our break. That moment was another great time to create synergy as a team, bonding and make friendship.

This time it was a bit different. We already had some drops and the number of players was not as perfectly divisible as the first draft, so we ended up having a pod with 10 people. It was the last table; the players called it \u201cla divertimesa\u201d, which should roughly translate to \u201cthe for-fun table\u201d in English.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here, we did the same procedure as last time, but this time we had an incident at one of the tables. Riccardo went to help and we all watched how an experienced judge steps in and solves a draft problem in seconds, without affecting the mass draft and with a minimum impact on that table. A player counted a card more than he should get &#8211; I think it was 8 instead of 7 &#8211; and called us. The way to solve it was that every player counted their cards to see what was going on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was quickly determined that it was the player himself who had forgotten to pick a card from the booster he was passing, so it was a very easy and fast fix. Since it took some seconds to correct, they were desynced from the mass draft, so Riccardo asked them to wait till the next pick to be synched again with just one pick less than the other pods. They would then continue drafting together with the other pods, with 5 seconds less than the others. What counts is that all eight players in the pod draft under the same conditions, as they would be paired against opponents who had the same time for each pick. Arturo and I, next to him, obtained invaluable lessons there.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since the players were familiar with the draft process, they became more relaxed &#8211; and we were more tense. I didn\u2019t want any infractions, so I reminded them several times to be quiet and draft in silence. Fortunately, they were good players and shut up. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c25e6bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c25e6bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0060-768x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2984\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0060-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0060-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0060.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Once the draft was over, we didn't need the pod numbers anymore.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18fca45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18fca45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next rounds we had two problems important enough to mention. The first one was about the venue: one of the air conditioning machines got broken, and it started to get really hot in one section of the venue. The players were sweating and having a bad experience. M\u00f3nica was informed and she renumbered the tables to another part of the hall where they could play in a cooler section. It\u2019s important to hear the players and notice when there is a problem, even when they don&#8217;t report it to you directly.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second one concerned a miscommunication with the people managing the stream. It seems they had some issues during one of the rounds and they gave the players extra time for those issues, but they didn\u2019t tell anything to the judges, or write it down anywhere. Then, when the end of the round came, we told them we were out of time. Luckily they told us what happened and we could verify the situation with the streamers. Remember, when you speak to the streamers, make sure they know that they have to inform the judges about any situations that may impact the round during broadcast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And that&#8217;s it. Way sooner than expected, the first day of the Spanish Nationals ended. Or, that\u2019s what I thought when M\u00f3nica and I were talking and a player came to us with a last question. And it was a good one\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oh, I almost forgot.

What happens?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I said \u201cYou win, because your opponent would be dead by the time the Merciful Retribution triggers\u201d. And he shook his head, looking down. He asked me to go to a table. There, both players had already cleared up the table and had their decks in their bags. His opponent thought the triggers would have killed him before the damage from the attack would be actually dealt, so they ended up thinking it was his victory. The result slip had not yet been filled out, and after speaking with them at the table and explaining the whole situation with the triggers\/replacements, I said the victory was for the attacker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you think? Should I have let the game as it was because everything was cleared up and both accepted that? Indeed, the player was not happy with that and he appealed. M\u00f3nica, as HJ, just said the same as me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think I would have done the same, even if the slip was already filled. Because the situation was clear, one of them would win and the other would lose, nothing could change that since there were no other possible actions for any player. So I had to resolve that in the fairest way. I rewound to the moment of the mistake, and applied the replacement effect and damage correctly. It didn\u2019t matter that they had already cleared the area, we didn\u2019t need decks, zones or anything else to get to the right ending.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A quite unbelievable way to end the first day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2bd803 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a2bd803\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Feedback is Caring<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b0ba1b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b0ba1b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1af6160\" data-id=\"1af6160\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71e74fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"71e74fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0053.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2985\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0053.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0053-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.judge.fabtcg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG-20230923-WA0053-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-abae323\" data-id=\"abae323\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd3936c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd3936c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To wrap up the day, we had a debrief.

He was crying and had a really bad moment. He was about to play a win-and-in game, and his nerves went out of control when he was paired against a teammate, knowing that only one of them would make it to the top 8. M\u00f3nica and I were nearby and we talked to him trying to calm him down. We gave him a bottle of water and offered him some fresh air to calm down and gave some extra time to that table. Both players went out together and they came back just a couple minutes later, in a much better mood.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a01fee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3a01fee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">There's Aren't the Cards You're Looking For<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf9c8f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf9c8f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second one was during a deck check. Every round, we had a different pair of judges performing a deck check, in order to increase the collaboration among the team members and have everyone get at least a little experience in each aspect of the tournament. This time Vicent and I were together. He came back with both deck boxes and I got the decklists ready. When we started, he noticed the deck box of the player he was checking had extra cards, legal for that hero (Iyslander), that weren\u2019t in the decklist. Those cards were placed apart, in a kind of drawer in the deck box, but in the same sleeves. Vicent asked me what we should do, and I told him to inform M\u00f3nica about it, because this would need an investigation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I knew the player. And I guessed he wasn\u2019t cheating. He went to the Super Armory organized by the TO that Friday. He tested his deck there with awful results &#8211; so awful that he changed the deck on Friday for Nationals. He actually told me that on Friday night, because I knew him. But, since he only had that one deck box with him, he left the unused cards there. He should have left those in the hotel room. But I couldn\u2019t be sure in my judgment, so I stayed away from the investigation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">M\u00f3nica started the investigation and he learnt that lesson the hard way. Luckily for him, she, as an experienced judge, started looking for proof. She talked to his previous opponents to make sure he didn\u2019t use any of those cards. She asked him in different ways, and looked for reasoning why he would do such a thing. Finally, after a lot of questions, she believed him and he got off with just an IP2.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Later, when the players were playing again, I told M\u00f3nica that I knew him and I wanted to recuse myself, but I told her my version of the story; it matched. She was relieved because, as judges, we are almost never 100% sure in an investigation and, although she was quite sure it was just a bad decision by that player, that confirmation of the story from me calmed her doubts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c3ce5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c3ce5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Top 8\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a135c8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a135c8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, with that, we cut to top 8. Riccardo and I looked for the tables with the best lightning and enough space for spectators without bothering the players, and relayed the information to M\u00f3nica.

M\u00f3nica was watching it in the stream. I was near the table. One of the players played Encase, and it dealt damage. The player told the opponent that the card would freeze the card in Arsenal. That was, obviously, wrong. His opponent read the card and he understood the same. And I, myself, also thought that was the text. So, the three people there were so confident that everything was correct. The opponent started his turn and used Lexi\u2019s ability to turn face up the frozen card (which actually was a Falcon Wing), and also got a resource from his Tunic. Then, M\u00f3nica came to me and asked me to stop the game, since there was a GRV.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first I was so confused, I didn\u2019t see any. Then I went to the table and read the Encase. Oh, well\u2026 We have a situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At that moment I was quite nervous. It was a semifinal and I was watching it so focused, without noticing anything wrong. I felt embarrassed, to be honest. I told the players what was wrong and I started my ruling as usual. GRV, 3 options: Fix, Rewind, Nothing. But this time I thought of something better. There were just two games and there were six judges there. Let\u2019s talk about this a bit.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At that moment, I already discarded the rewind options. The player with Iyslander had already used their card in the arsenal, revealing information, and also the Lexi player. But, what about a fix? M\u00f3nica, Riccardo and I spoke about it and it was pretty obvious that a fix would be the best.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then I was back at the table and thought: <em>OK, equipment and hero should be frozen\u2026 But the hero ability was already used, and the equipment too\u2026 Why did he use Lexi&#8217;s ability? To have another arsenal slot. If Lexi was frozen, the player would have played Falcon Wing, leaving the slot open anyway. So, that probably doesn\u2019t matter.<\/em><\/span><\/p><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about the equipment? The only ability used from equipment was the Tunic. And the resource from that hadn\u2019t been used yet, so having the counters back on Tunic, removing a resource and freezing it would be enough too.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately for my mental health, I didn\u2019t apply any fixes to the Tunic resource. The rest of the fix ended up near to what the expected situation would be if the correct cards had been frozen, but forgetting the Tunic fix was going to hammer my mind as I think I didn\u2019t respect the equity of the fix, causing the Lexi player to be in a better position. A couple turns later, the Iyslander player won the game. Both players told me after the game that they understood the ruling, but the regret will still live in my mind. I actually like that, because that scar will remind me to check twice, and will make me more agile and focused in a situation like that. There are two types of judges, the ones who committed a mistake, and the ones who will do it. Scars are good things to have, just don\u2019t hurt yourself.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb72f76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cb72f76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Finals<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2ced6ef elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2ced6ef\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32c03bf\" data-id=\"32c03bf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef3bb1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef3bb1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It would be quite soon that the change in mindset would help me.
