A panel of six — five of the six performances met the Engagement Standard (65+), each earned against the bar, not each other.
Steelmanned does not score who won. Debaters are listed alphabetically by surname; column order carries no meaning. The mark is earned by crossing a fixed score — 65, 85 and 95 DIS — independently of the others. All can earn one; all can miss. How we score →
