Bryant Ford
2×2 · top 8.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017FORD01
Bryant Ford has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at SacCubing I 2017, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,497th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2017, he has put 90 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.27 in January 2017 to 2.50, a 24% improvement. Bryant has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
