WINNER OF THE TUNER BATTLEGROUNDS #TBGLIVE AWARD CATEGORY RECEIVES A PRINT-FEATURE IN PASMAG!
ABOUT TUNER BATTLEGROUNDS
Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) is proud to announce its partnership with Hot Import Nights (www.hotimportnights.com), the largest consumer car show tour in the world, for 2015 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California on July 4th. This will be the 2nd Tuner Battlegrounds competition at Hot Import Nights in 2015 and will allow participating vehicles to register and join a head-to-head challenge. Tuner Battlegrounds is a bracket-style tournament facilitated online by PASMAG at www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. A Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition will be integrated to Hot Import Nights as an Award Category, similar to a "People's Choice" award. Here's the spin - rather than PASMAG staff alone selecting the winner of the #TBGLIVE award category, the responsibility is shared with the audience (the fans, show-goers and friends and family of the competitors). With a click of a button or a text from a cell phone, the audience will be able to vote and choose who they think should win, from one Stage (Round) after another. The winner will receive a feature in a print-edition of PASMAG. For more information about Tuner Battlegrounds, go to http://tunerbattlegrounds.com/about.
HOW TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT STAGE?
When the Battle Stages begin, Competitors must obtain votes at www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. Rather than PASMAG's internal staff acting as judges to select the winners, that responsibility will fall in the hands of the audience (the fans, show-goers and friends and family of the competitors). With a click of a button, the audience will be able to vote and choose their winners, one Stage after another. At the end of each Stage, the Competitor with the highest number of votes will advance to the next Stage.
FINAL STAGE: The Top 2 Competitors will battle against each other on-site at the event by gathering votes via text. Similar to previous stages, the competitors are encouraged to campaign for votes. A Text-to-Vote telephone number and Short Code will be assigned to the 2 Competitors to gather votes.
HOW TO VOTE?
Connect with your Facebook login using the Facebook Login widget, select (or search for) a competitor name/profile then click the star on their page when it's active (see Schedule). During the Elimination Stages, voting is limited to 1(one) vote per Facebook account per 24 hours of the posted Selected Competitors. In the Final Stage, voting is limited to 1(one) vote per telephone number of the posted Finalists.
ARE VOTERS REWARDED?
Voters have the opportunity to win an assortment of items from PASMAG - event tickets, stickers, keychains, magazines, t-shirts, sponsorship opportunities with partners, and much more (to be announced). Winners will be randomly selected and announced on Instagram.
