I would disagree. I felt that all of the first 3 challenges were semi-final or final level difficulty. Very challenging, and on my limited time, I couldn't summon the effort to finish with satisfactory cards.

As per usual CCL rules, this is sadly not a possibility. There are at least four judges for each entry, so I suspect "the trick" is going to be noticed.
Actually, its completely acceptable to edit your judgings (before the round closes) when you feel you've overlooked something important about a card that is revealed to you later. It's also completely acceptable to leave it, saying a better design wouldn't have been confusing.

For reference, putting the previous round's judging assignments in the following round's OP caused a lot of confusion.
In the future, I'd recommend keeping each round's judging assignments in the actual round thread they belong in. Having the judgings assigned to teams before the submissions end can be helpful as well, as it allows people to start judging even if you're late to announce the beginning of the judging period.

Clarifying for round 3: When you say fun for the opponent, do you mean the way R&D usually mean it-> It doesn't ruin your opponent's experience and make them instantly want to concede the game. Or do you mean the opponent is actually happy to get this rare cast against them because its so fun?

General standard is to allow the people critiquing you to decide themselves if your lateness bothers them and whether to dock points for it. We're pretty easy going in the CCL.

The CCL has always stood apart because each round led to the next. (It doesn't stand out as much this month, as the MCC seems to be moving in that same direction.)
How much flavor matters to the cards is always up to 1) the organizer, in how he designs the card creation restrictions 2) the players, in what weight they choose to put the creative portion in their judgings.

A new host discussion page feels a little like clutter to me, as the contest seems to be moving fine without it, but its not really my call.
