Tyler Phan

2×2 · top 43.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023PHAN06

Tyler Phan has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 5.31, set at Berkeley Fall 2023, puts him in the top 43.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17,376th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since June 2023, he has put 48 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 40.21 in June 2023 to 26.06, a 35% improvement. Tyler has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
