Rottie Cabael

3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2015 · 2015CABA02

Rottie Cabael has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.69, set at Pangasinan Speedcubing Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 676th in the Philippines. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2015, he has put 37 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 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.63 in March 2015 to 9.69, a 34% improvement. Rottie 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.
