Seth Ferry delivered a standout masterclass across multiple disciplines, claiming two titles including a decisive victory in the premier 3x3x3 Cube with a winning average of 8.93 seconds and a best single solve of 7.22. As the early stretch of the 2025 speedcubing calendar takes shape, this performance set a high competitive benchmark for South Australia. Across March 22, 2025, the Unley Town Hall served as the proving ground for seventy solvers looking to build early-season momentum across four classic events.

Held in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, All Welcome Adelaide 2025 offered a sharp, concentrated program spanning nine rounds of action. The single-day speed cubing tournament brought together both seasoned contenders and emerging talents aiming to establish their standings early in the year. With places on the line in standard twisty puzzles, the event showcased fierce battles at the top tables and significant breakthroughs across every tier of the roster.

The 3x3 results saw Ferry navigate three demanding rounds to secure the top step of the podium ahead of a deep field of 69 competitors. Miles Fetherston maintained consistent pressure to finish runner-up with an average of 9.13 seconds, while Jonah Blakeley captured third place with an average of 9.40 seconds. The traditional Rubik's Cube final capped a day where clean turning and mental stamina were essential to surviving the progressive cuts.

Ferry also swept the 4x4x4 Cube, taking the championship in the single-round contest with a winning average of 29.58 seconds and the day's best single of 25.58. Adrian Oon claimed the second spot on the podium with a 38.51 average, narrowly edging Blakeley, who secured his second bronze of the weekend with a 38.80 average among 46 participants. Ferry's sub-30 average underscored total control over the big cube.

Short-format solving provided equally tight margins, headlined by Cameron Stollery taking the 2x2x2 Cube title in commanding fashion. Stollery posted a winning average of 2.19 seconds and a blisteringly fast single of 1.67 across three rounds to defeat India's Mihir Gokhale, who took second with a 3.46 average. Ferry added another medal to his tally, placing third with a 3.51 average in a bracket that featured 60 competitors.

Watts held off Miles Fetherston, who earned his second silver of the day with a 4.48 average, while India's Jaedon Ross took third place on the podium with an average of 4.50. Across all events, Australian competitors collected ten podium positions, while international solvers from India earned two.
