Benjamin Alvarez

3×3 · top 13.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017ALVA14

Benjamin Alvarez has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.95, set at CCP 2018, puts him in the top 13.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in Chile. Across 3 competitions since April 2017, he has put 35 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.00 in April 2017 to 11.95, a 25% improvement. Benjamin has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
