What is Kinch Ranks?

The Kinch system is one way of measuring a cuber's overall performance rather than measuring just one event. To compute a Kinch Score, we compute the average of each event ratio, where an event ratio is 100 times the world record divided by your personal record.

The Multi-blind score is calculated by summing the points and the proportion of the hour left. That means the time is also incorporated into the Kinch Score.

There is one more special rule about calculating the Kinch Score. We take your better score between:

Why use Kinch?

Kinch and Sum of Ranks are both ways to measure the all-round performance of a cuber, and each has pros and cons. Here are a few reasons why kinch2002 devised the system.

Alternatives to Kinch

As mentioned before, Kinch is just one way to measure the all-round abilities of a cuber. If you want to know your Sum of Ranks, you can visit our Sum of Ranks page as well.

Different aggregation methods will have different tradeoffs, and some will debate which methods are better. That's why we provide multiple ways to measure your all-round abilities.
