Mauricio Ortiz
2×2 · top 9.6% of 189,179 all-time · competing since February 2018 · 2018ORTI01
Mauricio Ortiz has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.56, set at Paraguay Nationals 2018, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Paraguay. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2018, he has put 87 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.61 in February 2018 to 11.91, a 28% improvement. Mauricio has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
