In each grade level

Most schools in English-speaking countries have an annual school-wide bee to try to find the top spellers in each grade level. Usually, the winners of school spelling bees will then go on to a regional bee, where at this level the competitiveness becomes fierce.

Hi,

First of all, is the bolded level in the above optional?

Secondly, why does the above use different prepositions before "level?' Is there something wrong with the sentence? Thanks.
