Tolga Vanlıoğlu

3×3 · top 28.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018VANL01

Tolga Vanlıoğlu has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.20, set at İzmir Summer 2019, puts him in the top 28.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 490th in Turkey. Across 3 competitions since August 2018, he has put 66 official solves on the record across four 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 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.36 in August 2018 to 16.20, a 36% improvement. Tolga 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.
