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 McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois on July 11th. This will be the 3rd 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. The winner will receive a feature in a print-edition of 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:
STEP 1. Register to compete in Hot Import Nights at https://hin.webconnex.com/chicagocarreg2015.
STEP 2. Once Hot Import Nights has confirmed registration, register to compete in Tuner Battlegrounds at www.tunerbattlegrounds.com/register.
**2015 Hot Import Nights: Chicago, IL (Jul 11, 2015) to be selected in the "Event Affiliation" field.
A Competitor Profile will be created and displayed on the Competitors Page if you have been selected to compete. Qualification is based on the accuracy and quality of the completed/submitted registration form (information and photos). A select number competitors will qualify to enter the Battle Stages (elimination rounds). In the Battle Stages, Competitors will battle against each other, 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.
