Ege Çatalcalı has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.00, set at İzmir Open 2025, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in Turkey. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2023, he has put 73 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.78 in July 2023 to 10.00, a 27% improvement. Ege has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
