1) I remember a discussion a while back about Battlefest construction, but I can't find it. The tournament rules say "There is no restriction on army construction." But I recall a question about whether or not there were limits on Eldarim. In BF, are you still limited to the number of DH/DS/DM/DL matching the number of dragons brought, or is that restriction also lifted? (I recall building BF armies with the restriction of 3.)

2) The Sealed Box rules say to play out of the box, with army size of 30. Should this be updated to 36? (Anyway, I'm thinking of using the option allowed and calling for 24h armies.)

A switch in Sealed Box shouldn't be a problem. You don't have a choice as to which dice you're going to get (other than choosing your starter); the only option left is which dice out of the box you'll be using. The reason for going with 24h is that otherwise your only choice is which terrains you will play. This allows a little army building choice, and also can help ameliorate the random dice selection a bit.

The rules will not change from the existing Starter Box rules. Unless players show up thinking an old rules set is current, that won't create any problems. And it's up to players to be up-to-date on rules, or to review the new rules there. All events for DexCon are played under the Starter Box rules, with the exception of Novice, but most of those players are just learning the game anyway.

Updated the website description to make it clearer for Sealed Box. I'll get the tournament rules updated. But note that the tournament formats in the tournament rules are only suggestions. The convention event posting has the final say.

Steve, you must have an old copy of the tournament rules. I was going to update the rules, and found that the source file was already updated to state 36-health. I thought maybe I had not updated the website, but the rules up there also had 36-health. SFR's tournament rules can be download from here.
