Georgetown Weeknight 1 2026

Tucker Chamberlain delivered a masterclass on the tables at the Georgetown Public Library, locking down a blistering 7.13 winning average and a 5.44 single in Square-1 alongside a clinical 2x2x2 Cube victory. His dominant multi-event display set the tone for an evening defined by rapid progression across every bracket. The single-day speedcubing clash brought 22 competitors to Georgetown, Texas, USA on February 13, 2026, creating an intense, fast-paced environment where athletes pushed their limits across 11 rounds of official action.

The 2026 edition of Georgetown Weeknight 1 2026 proved that short-format fixtures can produce extraordinary leaps in individual capability. Across 5 events, contenders made their presence felt from the preliminary rounds through the finals. While traditional speed cubing schedules often stretch across full weekends, this condensed format forced participants to dial in their execution immediately. The focus was palpable across the venue as personal marks tumbled in virtually every round.

Chamberlain was everywhere on the podium steps throughout the gathering. In the 2x2x2 Cube, he topped a field of 21 competitors by recording a 2.47 average and a 1.75 best single in the final, edging out Andres Rodriguez who took silver with a 3.38 average and Max William Colwell in third at 3.40. Chamberlain was not done, adding a third-place finish in 4x4x4 Cube and a silver medal in Pyraminx to his pair of gold trophies, completing an extraordinary five-podium performance on Texas soil.

The longer puzzles provided plenty of drama of their own. In the 4x4x4 Cube, Tristan Patrick stood clear of the 16-player field, securing the title with a 34.05 average and a 30.45 single. Alexander Pacheco claimed second place with a 41.42 average, narrowly besting Chamberlain who logged 41.52. Solving larger variants demands an intricate blend of edge-pairing efficiency and deep spatial awareness, making Patrick's decisive margin of victory one of the technical highlights of the evening.

Pyraminx and Skewb delivered exceptionally tight turnarounds among the top seeds. Andres Rodriguez claimed the Pyraminx crown with a 2.70 average and a 2.07 single across two rounds, holding off Chamberlain's 2.90 and Pacheco's 4.52. In Skewb, Max William Colwell navigated the corner-turning puzzle with precision, averaging 3.44 with a best single of 2.91 to take first place ahead of Chamberlain at 4.39 and Rodriguez at 5.84, completing an all-USA podium sweep across every contested category.

Beyond the title fights, the competition served as a stage for massive personal leaps that represent the real heartbeat of the WCA competition scene. Reyaan Vallala cut his Skewb best down to 9.08 seconds, improving by 39 percent compared to his previous mark of 14.88. Captain Thompson posted a major breakthrough in Square-1, dropping his personal best to 29.89 seconds, a 36 percent improvement from 46.69, while also earning a fifth-place finish in 2x2x2 Cube. Chase Morello chopped 33.5 percent off his Square-1 best with a 25.94 mark and made his first ever official attempt at 4x4x4 Cube, clocking 2:18.76 alongside a fourth-place Pyraminx run. Joseph Phan recorded an 8.56 single in 2x2x2 Cube for a 31 percent drop and took on his first ever attempt at Skewb, logging 14.22.

The surge of new milestones continued throughout the roster of under-the-radar performers. Arsh Koul improved his 2x2x2 Cube single by 15.3 percent to 3.83 and took sixth place in Square-1, while Caleb Torres lowered his Pyraminx record by 11.4 percent to 3.67 seconds on his way to a fifth-place finish. James De-Ji Pee took on five separate events, lowering his Skewb benchmark to 7.34 seconds for an 8.5 percent drop and polishing his Square-1 best to 32.53. Meanwhile, Pranav Nichenametla stepped onto the official stage for his very first tournament, taking on five disciplines and posting inaugural marks of 9.42 in 2x2x2 Cube, 23.98 in Pyraminx, and 55.67 in Skewb.

When the final timers clicked off at Georgetown Weeknight 1 2026, the evening stood as a testament to the thriving regional cubing competition community. Even without standard 3x3 results on the schedule, enthusiasts found plenty of high-caliber solving to celebrate across the alternate disciplines. From newcomers logging their first official times on the classic Rubik's Cube variants to seasoned contenders refining their averages, the night at the library delivered an inspiring snapshot of steady progress.

As the equipment was packed away in Georgetown, the competitors walked away with fresh benchmarks and new goals for the season ahead. The combination of intense podium battles and sweeping personal bests highlighted how much momentum these localized meets generate. With new milestones established across all five disciplines, the stage is set for continued growth when Texas speedcubers assemble for their next official showdown.
