Yon Soo Park

3×3 · top 31.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2013 · 2013PARK05

Yon Soo Park has been competing for 14 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.28, set at Berkeley Fall 2015, puts her in the top 31.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17,631st in the United States. Across 13 competitions since March 2013, she has put 60 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 29.65 in March 2013 to 17.28, a 42% improvement. Yon has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
