3×3 · top 30.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2014 · 2014ALLP01
Benjamin Allport has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.81, set at Guildford Open 2016, puts him in the top 30.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,024th in the United Kingdom. Across 10 competitions since June 2014, he has put 66 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.12 in June 2014 to 16.81, a 49% improvement. Benjamin has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
