Tyson Young

2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020YOUN01

Tyson Young has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Utah Ice Cubing 2022, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,865th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since January 2020, he has put 48 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Tyson has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
