William Tucker

3×3 · top 25.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2010 · 2010TUCK01

William Tucker has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.25, set at Antelope Valley Fall 2013, puts him in the top 25.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13,768th in the United States. Across 11 competitions since October 2010, he has put 71 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 49.75 in October 2010 to 15.25, a 69% improvement. William has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
