Pierson Sablan

3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018SABL02

Pierson Sablan has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.23, set at Bobcat Battle Fall 2023, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,030th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2018, he has put 176 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.25 in April 2018 to 9.23, a 43% improvement. Pierson has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
