Keaton Asbach

2×2 · top 7.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015ASBA01

Keaton Asbach has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.36, set at Elk Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,991st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2015, he has put 70 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.51 in June 2015 to 14.91, a 46% improvement. Keaton 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.
