Jaydon Welling
3×3 · top 9.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2021 · 2021WELL02
Jaydon Welling has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.73, set at CubingUSA Rocky Mountain Championship 2024, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,253rd in the United States. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2021, he has put 245 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.66 in October 2021 to 10.73, a 61% improvement. Jaydon 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.
