Tomoya Ide

3×3 · top 40.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2008 · 2008IDET01

Tomoya Ide has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.09, set at Ohio Open 2010, puts him in the top 40.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,497th in Japan. Across 7 competitions since August 2008, he has put 54 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.52 in August 2008 to 20.09, a 30% improvement. Tomoya has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
