JL Bactad has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.45, set at Pangasinan Speedcubing Open 2017, puts her in the top 25.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,697th in the Philippines. Across 4 competitions since April 2015, she has put 38 official solves on the record across three events.

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.
