Calculation 1

Calculation 1: Issue Position Times Power Times Priority= Prince Score
Multiply issue position, power, and priority for each player to determine the player's Prince Score. For example, the Administration in the example has an issue position of +2, a power of 3, and a priority of 3. The product of these three numbers is +18. If the issue position is 0, multiply just the power and priority to determine the player's Prince Score, and put a parenthesis around the score. For example, the Board of Trustees has a 0 issue position, a power of 2, and priority of 2, leading to a Prince Score of (4).
