Average of tournament speaker points, after removing the first highest and lowest speaks at each.
Updated September 27, 2024
Speaker Points Minus 1 High and 1 Low (-1HL) is a metric used to evaluate consistency in speaker performance by removing potential outliers. It takes a debater's speaker points across a tournament and then subtracts the highest and lowest scores. The -1HL metric provides a more stable reflection of a debater's average speaking ability across a tournament.
