Westport Fall 2025

Six distinct puzzles tested a field of 58 competitors over 10 separate rounds of play at Saugatuck Congregational Church. Taking place on October 4, 2025, in Westport, Connecticut, USA, Westport Fall 2025 showcased the technical range demanded across contemporary speedcubing. Entrants tackled events from traditional face-turners to the mechanical gears of Clock, turning the single-day gathering into a continuous showcase of dexterity and speed. The multi-event program offered challenges tailored for both all-around specialists and single-discipline experts alike.

Among the standout performers of the day, Quinn Maloney established a commanding presence across the podium standings. Maloney secured two event titles, beginning with a dominant display in Clock where a 3.20 winning average and a 2.64 single led the 39-competitor field. Maloney carried that momentum straight into 3x3x3 Blindfolded, an event requiring precise memorisation and spatial recall, capturing first place with a 56.37 average and a 53.69 single. To round out a remarkable day, Maloney also collected third place in Square-1 with a 9.84 average.

The premier 3x3x3 Cube event drew a lineup of 56 competitors across three rounds, serving as the central focal point of the cubing competition. Matty Hiroto Inaba claimed the title with an exceptional winning average of 6.27 seconds, complemented by a blistering 5.20 single solve. Aaron Jake Wong finished in the runner-up position with a 6.95 average, while Ayden Dincher took third place averaging 7.54 seconds. The deep 3x3 results demonstrated the intense standard required to reach the final round at this WCA competition.

Ayden Dincher proved to be one of the busiest podium contenders of the entire tournament, earning hardware across five separate disciplines. In Square-1, Dincher took the championship with a winning average of 8.03 seconds and a sharp single of 6.28, outpacing Chris Chi and Maloney. Dincher subsequently captured third-place finishes in Megaminx with 51.48, Clock with 3.96, 3x3x3 Blindfolded with 1:21.68, and Pyraminx with 3.21, demonstrating an extraordinary breadth of capability across varied solving mechanics.

In the remaining brackets, specialized talent surfaced with outstanding individual performances. Matthew Liong secured the Megaminx crown by putting together a 34.45 winning average and a 31.45 best single across 29 entrants, finishing ahead of Timothy Yang. The Pyraminx bracket featured rapid turning among 49 contenders, where Clem Tucker emerged on top with an impressive 2.26 average and a 1.46 best single solve. Eli Rogers secured second place with a 3.19 mark, edging out Dincher in a tightly contested final.

Beyond the championship races, the floor saw substantial individual breakthroughs that numbers on a scoresheet often conceal. Robert Aidan Migliorini delivered a massive step forward, taking down a personal best in the 3x3x3 Cube with a 19.43 single, improving upon a previous mark of 29.83 by 34.9 percent. Grace Gdovin made a first ever attempt at Clock with a 17.78 while dropping personal best time on the 3x3x3 Cube by 25.5 percent to 37.20.
