David Sellards has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.13, set at Cincinnati Speedsolving 2026, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,307th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2024, he has put 118 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.81 in October 2024 to 2.13, a 44% improvement. David has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
