Basel Al-Darwisch

2×2 · top 30.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2010 · 2010ALDA02

Basel Al-Darwisch has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.28, set at Slovenian Open 2013, puts him in the top 30.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 162nd in Austria. Across 5 competitions since July 2010, he has put 119 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.46 in July 2010 to 17.80, a 37% improvement. Basel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
