Somehow hole 24 was removed from tournament play because SOME people misplayed from the wrong tee. Instead of those people being punished according to the rules, which is types of misplayed 1. a, the very first misplay rule, this rule was disregarded to make it no one gets any penalty. This is not correct. Sorry.
There was some severe miscommunication from the course staff and after some time, large branches were placed on the long tee, so naturally, the rest of the groups played the short tee. We deemed this the most fair way to rule, as did the PDGA. I’m sorry about it too! But penalizing players for the course mistake would not have been correct. Sorry.
Thank you for more clarification. The email seemed like it was just mistake by a few people.
