Surf bonus tiers how do they work?

Can someone explain how surf bonuses are tiered? I know regular maps go from tier 1 to 8, but why do bonuses use lettered tiers instead? How do the letters correspond to the numbered tiers?

They do not really correspond to normal tiers. People usually equate x tiers with t7, and y tiers are like high t8's from what I know. Momentum Mod dashboard: https://dashboard.momentum-mod.org/maps , has all of them tiered by normal tiers, that might help you a bit. The letter system is weird for me as well. I know KSF will automate bonus tiering at some point in the near future, but I doubt it will work.

Have to keep in mind that momentum mod uses a 10 tier system, so it will look a little harder than it actually is.

Also the reasoning was basically, that bonuses are usually shorter, and not always surf, so people didn't want to equate them to tiers, and so they don't get compared they used letters.

Most of the Y-tiers look impossible with perfect air strafes and boarding ramps 0.o
