Taking the median is a very common statistical practice used in many contexts. In technical terms the median is a "robust estimator of central tendency" while the mean is not robust. In plain English, if for some reason one of your three scores is a lot higher or lower than the other two that most likely means there is something wrong or unusual, so by tossing the highest and lowest they reduce such errors.
