Someone could run numbers and see how things would pan out.

I took a look at District Rankings for the North Brunswick District Event:

Points 	Team	Selection	Finish	Awards
73	303	1 Capt		W	Winner, Inn. in Cont.
72	2590	1 First		W	Winner, Entr.
60	11	2 Capt		F	Finalist, Judges'
51	193	2 First		F	Finalist
48	4285	3 Capt		SF	Exc in Eng
46	1923	5 First		SF	Chairman's
46	25	3 First		SF	Creativity
46	3340	1 Second	W	Winner
44	869	5 Capt		SF	Quality
43	1257	2 Second	F	Finalist, Spirit, Safety
36	4954	4 Capt		QF	Ind Des
33	5666	5 Second	SF	RAS
33	3314	7 Capt		SF	EI
31	219	4 First		QF
...

If District Events were regionals, CMP qualification would look something like this:

Winners: 303 (prequalified, Mount Olive Chairman's), 2590 (Montreal Winner), 3340
CA: 1923 (prequalified, TVR EI)
EI: 3314
RAS: 5666

Generating 3 wild cards:
Current System: 11, 193, 1257
District points: 11, 193, 4285

Looking at the OPR for that event, 4285 averaged ~43 points per match, and 1257 ~21 points per match. Using district points for wildcards sends a slightly different but more competitive set of teams to CMP.
