Natsu will still have competition from Irene (her dragon form is not restricted) and August. Restricting Dragon Force for Natsu would mean restricting Irene's dragon form and eliminating August from the competition. It should be noted that we've left a lot of things unrestricted for this tournament. Age Seal, Transport, and Brandish's magic are all open to interpretation on who it can and cannot effect. This is likely to be Fairy Tail's last tournament, so we wanted to include as much as possible. The only things that are clearly off the table is Fairy Heart and Acnologia, and suicide moves for obvious reasons (you need to be alive to win a round).
As for Lucy, we originally had an idea to make two separate options for Lucy, one to indicate that the Spirit King was used and we would restrict one of Lucy's spirits afterwards. The logistics of that made it too impractical, so that idea is scrapped. Lucy can used the Spirit King in every round, and her keys regenerate. The only canon showing of Lucy's spirit king summon is the one in Tartarus, and that's only Mard Geer's level. We feel this wouldn't be too overpowered in the long run.
