Notes on Scoring

Steps

1. Start with the Merger Notification cells. If this value is greater than 0, subtract 1 from it. -1 is not an acceptable value.
2. Next, add-up all of the other cells, but exclude any defenses from this calculation.

• Defenses include all efficiency defenses, as well as the public interest (pro D) and public interest (pro authority) defenses under Merger Assessment.
• Do not include Other as a defense.
