Ali Salavati (علی صلواتی) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3 Fewest Moves: a personal-best single of 23 moves, set at FMC Asia 2018, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 12,418 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Iran. Across 19 competitions since September 2011, he has put 329 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.30 in September 2011 to 16.75, a 31% improvement. Ali has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
