That one line removes those trips from consideration by the WOPR. If productivity is your goal then you could do something like "Award if ADC greater than 6:15" then more lines descending to whatever cutoff you want. Like I said, you'll lose some precision but it's also much less labor intensive than going through every individual trip.

It's worth mentioning that the AVOID command can be more powerful than the AWARD simply because it removes trips completely based on certain criteria that you may have otherwise been ok with. For example if you Avoid trips ending 0001-0500 but have Award if ADC greater than 6:15, a trip that meets your Award parameter won't be seen by the WOPR if you excluded it with a previous Avoid line.
