Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) is proud to announce its partnership with Hot Import Nights at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in Del Mar, CA on Saturday, February 6, 2016. A Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE competition will be added to Hot Import Nights as a unique award category, similar to a "People's Choice" award. #TBGLIVE will allow pre-registered and confirmed competitors to participate and join an online, bracket-style, head-to-head challenge on www.tunerbattlegrounds.com. The winner will receive a print feature in PASMAG! For more information about Tuner Battlegrounds, go to http://tunerbattlegrounds.com/about.

STEP 3: #TBGLIVE COMPETITOR PROFILE UPLOAD
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 participate in the online head-to-head bracket competition, one stage after another.
Registration for the #TBGLIVE Award Category at Hot Import Nights: San Diego, CA closes on Sunday, January 31, 2016.
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). Online voting takes place on Facebook and, 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.
HOW TO VOTE?
During the Elimination Stages, connect with your Facebook login using the Facebook Login widget and select (or search for) a competitor name/profile then click the star on their page when it's active (see Schedule). Voting is limited to 1(one) vote per Facebook account per 24 hours of the posted Selected Competitors. In the Final Stage, create a new post on Instagram and 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.
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 by gathering votes online. Similar to previous stages, the competitors are encouraged to campaign for votes by generating a new post on Instagram and/or Twitter with a dedicated hashtag, which is announced before the final stage of voting.
ARE VOTERS REWARDED?
Voters have the opportunity to win an assortment of items from PASMAG - event tickets, stickers, key-chains, magazines, t-shirts, sponsorship opportunities with partners, and much more (to be announced). Winners will be randomly selected and announced on Instagram.
