Can someone explain the Party "Step" tournies to me?

[KSOT]

I'm new to PP and I heard good things about them, but don't quite understand how they work.

I see a bunch of different types. Regular step, ministep, step higher, cruise step, and aussie step. What do each of these mean and how do they work?

Thanks a lot.

There's TONS of info if you go to the PP website and take a look for yourself. Link (http://www.partypoker.com/news/events/steps-challenge-04.html)

Thanks, I'm a fool for not checking.

I have a question I don't see answered there now. I heard you can take money as your prize instead if you don't want to advance. Is that true?

Also, what are the Aussie and Cruise steps? Some kind of satelites?

no and yes, respectively

I think Party should have named called the lowest step tournies "baby steps" instead of "mini steps".
