Cameron Almasi has been competing for 19 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.15, set at Stanford Fall competition 2009, puts him in the top 0.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 381st in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2007, he has put 404 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.30 in November 2007 to 12.71, a 73% improvement. Cameron has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
