Now when they qualify multiple times, their additional spot(s) goes to a team that is in the position they are from a high performing robot. In Texas, the next 8 teams with the "best" robot will qualify, instead of random teams which could very well be the worst team in Texas.
I fail to see how the wildcards (and disticts) lowers the level of teams competing at championships.

Gregor, you're comparing apples-to-oranges...
Specifically, I was talking about the upcoming Texas District Model... NOT this new "bridge" qualification that is for Regionals.

In Texas District Model, I think the competitiveness (on the field) of the _second_ batch of 8 teams (out of 16 qualified by points) will be lower than the teams they'll replace from other states that used to qualify for CHAMPIONSHIP as Alliance-WINNERS, and now also Alliance-FINALISTS (if slot[s] available)..."
Again, UNLESS Texas becomes like Michigan District with CRAZY competitive depth in their team pool...
