Rod Bautista has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.95, set at Mactan Speedcubing Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 466th in the Philippines. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2018, he has put 72 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.69 in May 2018 to 8.95, a 16% improvement. Rod 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.
