The clubs

The sub-30 club

Every competitor whose 3×3 single has broken 30 seconds, with the day each one joined. Updated every morning.

181,335 people hold an official 3×3 single under 30 seconds: one in every 2 of the 289,612 people ever ranked in the event. The first was Julian Chilvers, 25.95 at World Rubik's Cube Championship 1982. The newest member joined on 4 Nov 2026.

A club is joined on the day a competitor's best official single first goes under the line, and joining is permanent. The times below are induction singles, the solve that got each person in; many members are far faster now.
