Cooper Beckman

2×2 · top 10.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2018 · 2018BECK06

Cooper Beckman has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.68, set at Melbourne Summer 2022, puts him in the top 10.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 804th in Australia. Across 10 competitions since December 2018, he has put 147 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 12.02 in December 2018 to 2.68, a 78% improvement. Cooper has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
