Michael Pohl

3×3 · top 13.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2008 · 2008POHL01

Michael Pohl has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.93, set at German Nationals 2008, puts him in the top 13.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 679th in Germany. Across 3 competitions since October 2008, he has put 61 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. Michael has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
