3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2023 · 2023DAVI22
Tycen Davis has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.70, set at DFW Cubing Spring 2024, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,642nd in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2023, he has put 222 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.92 in April 2023 to 9.70, a 49% improvement. Tycen has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
