Grayson Atkins has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.81, set at Burley Summer 2023, puts him in the top 42.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24,134th in the United States. Across 7 competitions since February 2022, he has put 60 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 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.04 in February 2022 to 20.81, a 55% improvement. Grayson has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
