ABOUT TUNER BATTLEGROUNDS
Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) is proud to announce its partnership with Importfest 2015 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, August 22, 2015! This will be the fourth consecutive year of the Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition at Importfest and will allow pre-registered and confirmed competitors of Importfest to participate and join an online, bracket-style, head-to-head challenge on www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. A Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition will be added to Importfest as a unique award category, similar to a "People's Choice" award, and the winner will receive a print feature in PASMAG! For more information about Tuner Battlegrounds, go to http://tunerbattlegrounds.com/about.
To compete in the Tuner Battlegrounds: #TBGLIVE Battle award category, Competitors (Tuners) MUST follow the following steps:
1. Register for Importfest at www.importfest.com.
2. Once Importfest has confirmed your registration for the event, register to compete in Tuner Battlegrounds at www.tunerbattlegrounds.com/register (2015 Importfest: Toronto, ON (Aug 22, 2015) to be selected in the "Event Affiliation" field).
If you have already registered for Tuner Battlegrounds and your vehicle has changed from last year, fill-out the registration form again and upload current photos. Deadline to compete in the Tuner Battlegrounds: #TBGLIVE Battle at Importfest is Wednesday, August 12, 2015.
A Competitor Profile will be created for all Tuner Battlegrounds registered competitors and displayed on the Competitors Page. A select number of competitors will qualify based on the accuracy and efficiency of their submitted registration form, and be selected to enter the Battle Stages (elimination rounds). In the Battle Stages, Competitors will battle one another, one Stage after another. If you already have a competitor profile and would like to register for this #TBGLIVE Battle, go HERE.
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.

ARE VOTERS REWARDED?
