I'll have to track those down. "Bowling" was a fine CCLP3 level.
I have no idea which authors were responsible for which levels, so I really can't comment on this. I'm also speaking from the POV of a Chipster who isn't terribly brilliant (or dedicated, or interested in high scores), so take from this what you will. I just think that CC1 and CCLP3 were, for the most part, a lot of fun to play through, while CCLP2 was, overall, not much "fun." The problems with the set range far beyond the 15-20 "obviously" ridiculous levels.
I don't mean to criticize anyone personally, or to even suggest that the set was a waste. On the whole, it was probably very beneficial to the CC community to have such a set and that sort of community-oriented, "let's collaborate on a project" mindset (wasn't it? I don't know, I wasn't around then; I'm just guessing here).
But, for whatever reason, CCLP3 is far more satisfying, than its predecessor, imo. Maybe it was the greater pool of levels invovled in voting, maybe it's the Lynx-compatability requirement, maybe it was the tastes of the CC community reacting to CCLP2 and its successes/failrues...I don't know.
