3×3 · top 1.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023BRUN06
Jason James Brunson has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.34, set at Spanish Fork AM 2024, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,055th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since March 2023, he has put 319 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.96 in March 2023 to 7.34, a 39% improvement. Jason has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
