3×3 · top 30.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2013 · 2013MART14

James Martini has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.95, set at Keep Portland Weird 2015, puts him in the top 30.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16,989th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since September 2013, he has put 72 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.34 in September 2013 to 16.95, a 36% improvement. James has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
