I'd leave it just the way it is.  Of course, there is nothing prohibiting 
you from working someone on any band not a part of the contest, you just 
can't count it for credit in the contest.

I think it's refreshing to have at least ONE contest that's simple and 
only covers two bands.  We have several that cover 50 MHz to daylight, 
one that covers UHF+, one that covers 10 GHz and up, then we have the 
single-band Sprints.  But this one allows more time than the Sprints and 
gives someone a chance to try out things like Rovering which he couldn't 
do so easily in the many-band contests.
