ASM IP reputation block decision

How do the Brightcloud IP reputation categories map into the F5 decision to block or not? On their website the Brightcloud scores are as follows 1-20 are high risk IPs, 21-40 are suspicious IPs, 41-60 are generally benign IPs, 61 - 80 are benign IPs and 81 to 100 are good IPs. Does a score of and below constitute a block 20 or a score of 40 and below?

    The ASM doesn't block specifically by reputation number, but by category.

    When you setup blocking in ASM, you will have the option of selecting which categories to block on.
