I have heard from a ton of sources that theres been a change in fairy king truesdales ruling and that it has to be in defence to get the power boost. But on UDE's errated page and it doesnt show up so I just want to know if it official or not.
fairy king truesdale's effect...
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, increase the ATK and DEF of all Plant-Type monsters on your side of the field by 500 points.

I think it should be...
As long as this card remains face-up on the field in defence mode, increase the ATK and DEF of all Plant-Type monsters on your side of the field by 500 points.
or else its a 2700 attack powerhouse 1 tribute...

Yes, the boost is done while it is in face-up defense mode, as the Japanese card says. Although Fairy King Truesdale has not any errata, that shouldn't let the card be incorrectly played. Think about Bazoo the Soul-Eater and Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer. The errata for those cards didn't appear until a long time, but that didn't stopped the judges to input the good rulings on those cards in the meanwhile.

And, quoting helpoemer316:

"Right now Fairy King Truesdale is to be played by it's ruling that it must be in defense mode for the power boost effect to happen, this has been official for at least 4 months now, and became official around the time Nationals hit I believe."

I don't see anywhere that he has to be in Defence to get the boost. I don't have the Japanese card nor do I read it, so I'll believe you on that one (in that it says so on the Japanese cards).
Truesdale doens't show up in the Official Rulings http://www.netrep.net/content/view/76/38/ and it doesn't show up as Errata or specific card ruling either(in the Netrep Card Registry).

Four months is a pretty long time, in which they have had plenty of time to implement an errata.

Of course, these are just my opinions, I could be wrong.

The ruling is face-up defense. The reason it is not on the errata page (to my knowledge) is because it is a card that Konami released and there are legal issues with putting errata up on Konami-only released cards.

About the Konami-only thing... Is it not legal in UDE tournaments? Then why doesn't UDE get with Konami to clear it all up so there's no fuss?

It is legal for use in tournaments, but apparently there was some issue about issuing errata on Upperdeck's site for a card that only Konami released. (although this statement was made Loooong ago).

And getting Konami to do stuff is ... interesting ... to say the least.
