Marshall Richards

2×2 · top 46.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022RICH10

Marshall Richards has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.57, set at Warm Up Sydney Saturday 2023, puts him in the top 46.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,635th in Australia. Across 12 competitions since June 2022, he has put 86 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% 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 57.26 in June 2022 to 32.92, a 43% improvement. Marshall has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
