*II. BANDS:* Six bands only: 1.8, 3.5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 MHz. Observance 
of established band plans is strongly encouraged.

It is not a rule.  This has been a common practice in contests for years 
as people don't want to change their antennas just for SSB as CW and FT8 
seem to be the preferred DX modes.

It is just a hand full of days per year.  We should be happy there is a 
good turn out and the bands are being used!
