Ty Fazenbaker

3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015FAZE01

Ty Fazenbaker has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.87, set at Spontaneous Summer 2016, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,906th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2015, he has put 298 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.98 in May 2015 to 9.87, a 65% improvement. Ty has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
