FRF drafting rules?
Limited forum

So, as we all know by now, packs of FRF may contain land that isn't basic - refuge lands or fetches.
Does anybody know if the mothership has released rules for how to draft with them?
Traditionally, of the 16 pieces of paper in a booster pack (14 spells, 1 basic land, 1 token) we draft with 14 of them only.
Has it been made official that for the FRF pack, we're drafting with all 15, regardless of if the land is a basic or not? Or do we still keep the basic out, but include the non-basics (which would lead to lots of confusion, I imagine).
Has anybody seen an official announcement? (Or what did they do in RTR block?)

From the tournament rules:
7.7 Booster Draft Procedures
All players must open and draft the same type of booster at the same time. Players open their first booster pack and count the cards face down, removing token cards, rules cards, and any other non-game cards. Players who receive an erroneous number of cards at any time must immediately notify a judge. After picking up the booster, players should remove and keep any non-foil basic land cards and/or any other cards that are not legal to use in the draft. Foil basic land cards should be left in the booster and drafted with the other cards. Players choose one card from their current booster pack and then pass the remaining cards face down to the player on their left until all cards are drafted. Once a player has removed a card from the pack and put it on top of his or her single, front face-down drafted pile, it is considered selected and may not be returned to the pack.
So technically anyone who got a basic would remove it and the non-basics in that slot would stay in. I have a feeling though that the land slot is just going to get passed so that all packs are of the same size.
