Tate Becker

Pyraminx · top 23.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014BECK04

Tate Becker has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 6.40, set at MIT Fall 2014, puts him in the top 23.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,226th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since November 2014, he has put 90 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.07 in November 2014 to 17.58, a 20% improvement. Tate has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
