Unfortunately, it is.

Yes (but some people think otherwise)

No, only 6 teams qualified for World Champs at Queen City: 3 winners, 3 Qualifying Awards (RCA, EI, RAS). But 868 qualifying for World Champs through Queen City takes away a slot from Indiana's allocated team count at World Champs.
EDIT: The RCA winner at Queen City (1939) was actually already qualified for World Champs via EI at Greater Kansas City, so a wildcard was given to 4028, the captain of the finalist alliance. But still, only 6 teams advanced from Queen City.

It certainly would be.
