If I had to guess, I'd say observationally the main differences were that the lines were drawn at level ranges besides the ones keyed to divisions on the leaderboard, and without checking all the skill ratings of the higher divisions I just have a hunch that the change also made lower divisions larger and higher divisions smaller in terms of skill rating range since lower divisions are more prone to large numerical skill boosts.
ie: going from 10 to 20 is dramatically easier than going from 50 to 60, which is dramatically easier than going from 90 to 100.
D5 site-side being level 69 to 82 is 14 levels where the gap from bottom to top is way bigger than the gap between say, 1-25 in division 1.
Making division 1 and 2 bigger to make each higher division smaller almost certainly makes for a more competitive tournament among the actual serious players.
