Saben Morris has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.88, set at NZ North Island Championship 2026, puts him in the top 10.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 219th in New Zealand. Across 5 competitions since October 2025, he has put 187 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.85 in October 2025 to 10.88, a 39% improvement. Saben has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
