Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) is proud to announce its partnership with 742RACE.WARS USA at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, February 27, 2016. A Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition has been added to 742RACE.WARS USA as an award category, similar to a "People's Choice" award. Only advance-registered and confirmed competitors of 742RACE.WARS USA were able to participate and join this online, bracket-style, head-to-head challenge on www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. The winner of the #TBGLIVE award category receives an exclusive print feature in PASMAG! Here's the spin - rather than PASMAG selecting the winner of the #TBGLIVE award category, this responsibility falls on the automotive enthusiast - the audience, fans, show-goers and friends and family of the competitors and/or event. With a click of a button (voting is enabled via Facebook) or creating a new post with a designated hashtag (Instagram, Twitter), the automotive enthusiast will be able to vote and select their favorite competitor(s) from stage to stage. Read below for more details.

HOW TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT STAGE?
When the Battle Stages begin, competitors must obtain votes on www.tunerbattlegrounds.com.

At the end of each stage, the competitor with the highest number of votes will advance to the next Stage.
HOW TO VOTE?
In the elimination stages, visitors to the Tuner Battlegrounds website simply log-in with their existing Facebook account credentials using the integrated Facebook Login widget. Once logged in, visitors can vote for their favorite competitor(s) by clicking the star on the top of a competitor profile page when enabled (see Schedule). Voting is limited to 1(one) vote per Facebook account per 24 hours of the posted qualified competitors. In the Final Stage, create a new post on Instagram and/or Twitter using the announced hashtag. Only one hashtag is counted per new post (hashtags edited onto existing posts are not counted). For every ten (10) new hashtag mentions, a competitor will get one (1) vote. Vote totals reset to 0 (zero) at the end of each stage.
FINAL STAGE
The Top Two (2) competitors will battle against each other on-site at a dedicated Tuner Battlegrounds booth (if one is provided) at the event. Similar to the previous stages, the competitors are encouraged to campaign for votes on social media and in person at the event.
