Full disclosure, this is going to sound SO LAME, but, for me, personally, I am fine with not reaching the highest tier of community rewards as long as what we end up achieving actually helps clean up/improve the map and lead to a better game experience for everyone.
I know that sounds like I have been drinking way too much of the “Niantic Koolaid”, but it is honestly how I view this whole challenge.
If we don’t hight the top rewards, we, as a community, should use that as motivation the next time around.

It would have been nice to opt-out of your home location. My location is not in any of the challenge areas. While my bonus location is. I do frequently jump back to nominations and edits in my home location as well as possibly upgrades and/or rural nominations. Also the lag and errors received initially were frustrating. So I can see why it was harder to meet tier 4. Props to those who stuck with it to get on the leaderboard to 10 
We still have 23.5 hours left in the challenge. I hope Niantic will extend it a day or two, to May 23 or 24, to make up for SO much “RETRY” spinny nothingness.
They will not be extending the challenge.
