We have a team participating in the First Lego League competition, where there
are clear rules that we should be using original lego parts with no customizations.

I have found parts in the brick link lego catalog that appear to be entirely
original lego parts (I am able to find them in the official lego catalog), however
they are listed with a qualifier of "modified", for example:

Brick, Modified 2 x 24 with Peg at each End

My question is, what does "Modified" mean in the brick link catalog? Does it
mean that it has been modified from its original condition, or that in some way
it is not an original lego part?

They are most definitely original LEGO parts. The "modified" means that, on the
whole, it kinda looks like (for instance) a brick, but it has an additional "modification",
like a pin.
