Tiers and Subtiers
Pathfinder Society Scenarios are designed so that players
of a variety of levels can participate in a given adventure,
though with some limitations. Starting with Season 3, there
are six different tiers currently offered within Pathfinder
Society Organized Play. These tiers are as follows.
Tier 1
Tier 1-5
Tier 3-7
Tier 5-9
Tier 7-11
Tier 12
In addition, we offer a small number of interlinked
scenarios for 12th-level characters that are not normally
part of the storyline in a particular season.
Most of these tiers have subtiers. The subtiers for each
tier are as follows.
Tier 1-5: Subtiers 1-2 and 4-5
Tier 3-7: Subtiers 3-4 and 6-7
Tier 5-9: Subtiers 5-6 and 8-9
Tier 7-11: Subtiers 7-8 and 10-11
Tiers are a level restriction for play. If a PC's level does
not fall within the level range of a scenario's tier, that
character can not legally play in that scenario. For example,
a 5th-level PC is legal for play in scenarios of Tiers 1-5, 3-7,
and 5-9; a 1st-level PC can only legally play in a Tier 1 or
Tier 1-5 scenario. Within each tier, PCs should play in the
subtier in which they fall whenever possible, but they may
be allowed to play up or down, based on the average party
level at the table, as outlined below. Some scenarios or
special events offer more than two subtiers. In these cases,
no PC can play at a subtier more than 1 step away from her
character level.

Hi everyone, just posting this for anyone needing info on tiers.
If anyone is looking forward to join a higher tier game say 3-7, or 5-9, start levelling up by looking for more games to play!
