I agree it might have been worded more clearly, but your question is
answered by the last sentence in part (b).

Here is the section on single-op classes:

V. Categories:

1. Single Operator (Single Band and All Band)

(a) Single Operator stations are those at which one person performs all
of the operating, logging, and spotting functions. Only one transmitted
signal is allowed at any time. 

(b) Low Power: Same as 1(a) except that output power is 150 watts or
less. Stations in this category compete with other low power stations
only. However, only all-band entries may be classed as low power.

(c) Rookie: An entrant in this category shall, at the time of the
contest, have been licensed as a radio amateur three years or less. If
you are entering this category, please indicate on your Summary Sheet.
