Doug Bai
3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022BAID01
Doug Bai has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.53, set at Melbourne Summer 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 804th in Australia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2022, he has put 47 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.78 in October 2022 to 10.53, an 18% improvement. Doug 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.
