Tom Praschan
3×3 one-handed · top 8.1% of 74,621 all-time · competing since June 2010 · 2010PRAS02
Tom Praschan has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.97, set at German Nationals 2011, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 108th in Germany. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2010, he has put 205 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.47 in June 2010 to 10.68, a 48% improvement. Tom has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
