Hi Chris. It is a C tier event. The “X” designation is because we are a charitable event with 100% going to the MS Society. The PDGA has a program where event director fees can be removed to increase the fundraising potential. The X can mean other things when an event has modified rules, but in our case it is because of the charitable aspect.

This is from the PDGA site which explains it better: X-Tier X-Tiers are not a separate Tier, but rather a designation used in conjunction with another Tier level (XM, XA, XB, or XC). X-Tier events either use experimental formats or have deviations from ordinary PDGA rules and regulations significant enough to merit this modified Tier designation. X can be added to the Tier designation for a variety of reasons. If the event is a non-singles format - such as doubles, triples, team, or match play - or uses non-standard rules - like offering mulligans or mandating throw and distance penalties for an island green - the X means the event is not rated. The X can also be used for other non-ratings related items such as a charity event with limited payouts or a restriction on who can register such as residents of a specific country or state, or collegiate-only. These types of X-Tiers, where the format is ratable, will still receive ratings.
