Evan Barclay has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.94, set at SA State Championship 2025, puts him in the top 10.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 270th in Australia. Across 10 competitions since May 2024, he has put 205 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
