Seems very odd. The Decision Rulefan has referenced suggests that there whould be exceptional circumstances to justify the change, but you'd expect to be told what these were.
Can a Medal be changed to a Stableford?

Below is part of the response from England Golf. I have been told all handicaps will revert to what they were before The Competition started on Saturday. This is slightly annoying in my case as it is the first time in over 2 years’ I have had a reduction!
Part of response:
“The condition of competition cannot be altered once people have entered.
The scores cannot be altered to gross because people will have picked up under stableford rules.â€
The competition must go down as a non Qualifier and handicaps to revert back.

That all makes sense.

Doesn't make sense. Some one has tweaked their question!
As presented all competitors were under the impression that the competition was a medal round until they came to enter their scores. If this was the case then no one will have picked up under stableford rules!
We're it to have been a stableford, subsequently changed to medal, it makes sense - as presented it makes no sense at all.

Tiz is very strange and would be interesting to see what the actual question was that went out.
Simple solution, if everyone played it as a medal, open comp, hit the strokeplay button, close comp.
Sounds like someone on the committee played it as a Stableford and cocked up.

I try and avoid jumping to conclusions - but were I to make an exception here I would agree completely!

Duncan you are ABSOLUTELY correct.
This was entirely my thought when the response came back to me as nobody playing thought thought it was a Stableford. I had an 8 on a par 4 and would have picked up after 6 but ‘knowing’ it was a Medal carried on.
Incidentally after rechecking my results it was the first time in 6 years I had achieved a reduction with a nett 70 so I had a real interest.
What makes it worse is that I asked our County Guy whether it could not be “reduction onlyâ€, drowning man clutching at straw, to no avail.

RO can only be applied by the CSS calculation not by the committee.
It should have been declared to be a non qualifier

It has. Please see post 22.

Sorry, I didn't refer back to check the EG response.

Below is the copy of the reply I have received:
“The pro has a list of handicaps that were increased by point one and have now returned to what they were as last friday
All players that bettered css have been reduced.
Instruction from EGU.â€
My question is how will CSS have been calculated in the circumstances?
Is the response correct as I feel the question initially was weighted as EVERYBODY knew it was a Medal.
What I want is the reduction I have received but in Medal format rather than Stableford.

This is simply sorted out
You all played as a medal - so regardless of what the Comp was when you entered the scores it take two seconds Close it as a medal , it can’t be a reductions only and it must be a qualifier -you don’t need instructions from the EGU
It’s a simple set up issue on the computer - that’s all

You would have got exactly that - irrespective of whether comp was Medal or Stableford! Congu Handicap is a Stableford mesurement, irrespective of the competition format!
However, I believe the other important 'change' is that the comp is treated as Medal wrt scores qualifying for the 'Masters' comp. That's something you will have to argue with your club!
