Derek Ruffolo has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 5.42, set at Rubik's WCA North American Championship 2022, puts him in the top 21.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 488th in Canada. Across 8 competitions since May 2022, he has put 118 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.65 in May 2022 to 14.84, a 24% improvement. Derek has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
