I also saw this entry and then noticed its absence when I checked back to begin voting a few moments ago. Mistakes happen, but for a contest like this it seems a tad unfair to include an aspiring author in the list of winners and then take it away. I'm just imagining my own reaction to winning followed by the crushing disappointment upon seeing it taken away.
The contestants are all held to rigid deadlines and legal requirements. Paizo should also take a similar responsibility to the entrants. Either the entry should be reinstated (an extreme solution to be sure, and yes, I realize it would also be unfair to the other winners to include 33 entries), or RPG Superstar owes the contestant a short apology (at the very least).
(Full disclosure: I know and was rooting for the contestant that got added and removed.)

Well I did my part and voted for 7 of the maps. I'm not sure I will give my 8th to any of the remaining ones. Most maps are very good, but only 7 stood out for me from the rest.
Then spend your vote on another designer rather than a map. Consider their work in all rounds so far and the potential you think they may have to excel in future tasks. Or upvote someone from whom you'd like to see additional work over the remainder of the contest before you fully decide if they should be eliminated yet.

That's a valid point. *starts looking at items from round 1*

In case anyone is curious why Neil is our continuity judge, commenting on every round this year, here it is.
Extra-Mile-Spicer is just good for the contest and the community.
