X Games Qualifier Rail Jam

It doesn't. It isn't a WXG event, just the USASA rail jam finals that take place at Buttermilk when the X-games are going on. correct me if I am wrong, but I remember it was like this for an "X-Games qualifier" at Liberty mtn. snowflex.
 
If they aren't actually affiliated then it sounds like a pretty clear case of trademark infringement.

"If a party owns the rights to a particular trademark, that party can sue subsequent parties for trademark infringement. 15 U.S.C. �� 1114, 1125.

The standard is "likelihood of confusion." To be more specific, the

use of a trademark in connection with the sale of a good constitutes

infringement if it is likely to cause consumer confusion as to the

source of those goods or as to the sponsorship or approval of such

goods. In deciding whether consumers are likely to be confused, the

courts will typically look to a number of factors, including: (1) the

strength of the mark; (2) the proximity of the goods; (3) the similarity

of the marks; (4) evidence of actual confusion; (5) the similarity of

marketing channels used; (6) the degree of caution exercised by the

typical purchaser; (7) the defendant's intent. Polaroid Corp. v. Polarad Elect. Corp., 287 F.2d 492 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 368 U.S. 820 (1961)."

 
just like any qualifier ever held in any sporting event, ever.... did you think you were being clever typing that or did you just forget how the world works?
