Dante Ugalde

3×3 · top 10.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015UGAL01

Dante Ugalde has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.00, set at Minnesota Cube Days 2020, puts him in the top 10.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,671st in the United States. Across 9 competitions since October 2015, he has put 88 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% 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 48.06 in October 2015 to 11.00, a 77% improvement. Dante has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
