Maddie Roberts has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.18, set at Slow N Steady Fall 2023, puts her in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,964th in the United States.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.54 in April 2023 to 9.18, a 37% improvement. Maddie has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
