@1: about 3 month ago we made some changes, see here:http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/pokerstrategy/Top250-Promotion-Undergoes-Changes_41113/
"To add the main thing:
1. For players who compete for the Top250 at PokerStars, this is indeed a disadvantage.
2. For all other players, it's actually an improvement - e.g. if you play on PartyPoker, getting $100, $200, $500, $1k or $2k will be significantly easier.
3. Exception: if you do >$100k SP / Month, this is also not an improvement."
