Omer Shabtay
2×2 · top 7.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017SHAB02
Omer Shabtay has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.37, set at Israel Championship 2019, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 163rd in Israel. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2017, he has put 63 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.66 in August 2017 to 10.88, a 14% improvement. Omer has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
