Yusuf Şamil Balcı has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at Turkish Ankara Open 2014, puts him in the top 21.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 319th in Turkey. Across 3 competitions since February 2014, he has put 61 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs.

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.
