Van Atchison

3×3 · top 77.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016ATCH02

Van Atchison has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 40.33, set at Michigan Cubing Club Beta 2017, puts him in the top 77.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 47,158th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since November 2016, he has put 42 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% 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 51.07 in November 2016 to 40.33, a 21% improvement. Van has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
