[CQ-Contest] WPX RTTY Rules confusion

It appears that the rules specifying points per QSO have been aligned across all three modalities for the WPX contests. Rule VII.(c) in both the CW/SSB and the RTTY WPX rules specify one point per QSO for QSOs between stations in the same country regardless of band.

In the rules for the 2008 WPX RTTY Contest, it says that QSOs between 
stations in the same country are worth 1 point on 10/15/20 meters and 
2 points for 40/80 meters. See 
http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/36-RTTY_WPX_Rules_Jan08.pdf

In the rules for the 2009 RTTY Contest, it says that QSOs between 
stations in the same country are worth 1 point regardless of what 
band they are on. See http://www.cqwpx.com/rules_2009.pdf

There is no mention of any rule change this year on the cqwpx website 
and Writelog and (I was told) N1MM are scoring the logs the old way, 
allowing 2 points for same country QSOs on 40 and 80 meters.

Which is correct? Or is the unpublished point change for the RTTY WPX 
contest a typo?
