With 1,898 votes (tunerbattlegrounds.com: 1298, Instagram/Twitter: 312, Ballot: 288) the 2016 PASMAG Tuner Battlegrounds Champion is Gerbie Reyes (2001 Honda S2000) from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada! Stay tuned for his cover feature in an upcoming issue if PASMAG!

The annual PASMAG Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs provides automotive enthusiasts with an opportunity of a lifetime - to compete against other passionate enthusiasts in North America* for the ulitmate award: to be featured on the cover of PASMAG. Hundreds of enthusiastic competitors register each year but only 1 will be left standing. Seeding for the 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs begins immediately, and inclusion and placement for the Top 64 depends on votes earned throughout the 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season (February 1, 2016 - September 5, 2016). The #TBGLIVE competitors will be seeded 1 to 32 in relation to their total number of votes accumulated in the 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season, while the remaining 32 will be decided in the #WILDCARD round of Stage 1: Elimination. Between September 6, 2016 and October 18, 2016 weekly online voting will take place to narrow the final competitors to 2 (two), one round after another.

In Stage 1, the elimination process begins to seed 32 additional competitors with newly registered/qualified submissions for the 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs and 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competitors that have not accumulated enough points in the 2016 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season. Online voting takes place between September 6, 2016 (12:00 PM EDT) and September 12, 2016 (12:00 PM EDT) to narrow the total number of competitors to 64 at the end of Stage 1. The Top 64 competitors advance to Stage 2, the head-to-head battles.

HOW TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT STAGE?
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. In Stage 1: Elimination, the 32 #WILDCARD competitors with the highest number of votes will advance to Stage 2: Top 64.
