Thomas Lawrence has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.60, set at Veterans Day Open 2019, puts him in the top 21.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,387th in the United States. Across 8 competitions since May 2018, he has put 132 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.52 in May 2018 to 14.37, a 51% improvement. Thomas has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
