2017 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs

The Fifth Annual Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs provides automotive enthusiasts with an opportunity of a lifetime - to compete against other passionate enthusiasts in North America* for the ultimate award: a PASMAG Cover Feature! Hundreds of automotive enthusiasts register each year but only 1 (one) will be left standing. Seeding for the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs begin immediately, and inclusion and placement to the Top 32** of 64 depends on votes earned throughout the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season. Between September 5 and October 16, 2017 weekly online voting will take place to narrow the final competitors to 2 (two), one round (Stage) after another. The Top 2 competitors in the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs, also known as the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds Championship, receive a VIP Experience that includes flight, hotel and credentials to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the exclusive VIP Experience, the Top 2 competitors will have their vehicles shipped and displayed in the PASMAG Tuner Battlegrounds booth at SEMA and compete for the cover of PASMAG!
*Contiguous United States or any province in Canada
**The #TBGLIVE competitors will be seeded 1 to 32 in relation to their results and total number of votes accumulated in the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season, while the remaining 32 will be decided in the #WILDCARD round of Stage 1: Elimination.

In Stage 1, the elimination process begins to seed 32 additional competitors from newly registered/qualified submissions for the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds Playoffs and 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competitors that have not accumulated enough points in the 2017 Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE Season. Online voting takes place between September 5, 2017 (12:00 PM EDT) and September 11, 2017 (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. In Stages 2-6, the competitor with the highest number of votes in each Battle will advance.
