So at Queens City Regional, there were 7 teams that qualified to worlds? 6 through the original 6 spots at the Regional and 1 through the IN DCMPS?

What would happen if 4 IN teams won a Regional this year? That'd be an odd situation...
There has been discussion of this reverse wildcard outcome in MAR threads since they introduced it in 2014. There has been less grumbling about this in the last two years--mostly in my opinion because championships has grown 50%, making it easier to qualify. Now that we have >25 slots and people can come off the waitlist, people feel like there is a good shot--when it was less than 20, people got nervous. I'm sure it's worse for you guys.

BTW, rooting hard for 1747 to bring home two more banners!
