Tabitha King has been competing for 17 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 28.41, set at Berkeley Spring 2014, puts her in the top 59.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 35,437th in the United States. Across 16 competitions since August 2009, she has put 74 official solves on the record across one event.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 44.55 in August 2009 to 28.41, a 36% improvement. Tabitha has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
