Chode69 914 Report post #1 Posted January 26, 2009 RULES FOR SYSTEM OF THE MONTH - updated 9/16/17 by snafu 1st-20th-Nominate (or if the roster is filled which ever comes first) 21st-End of month-Vote for Winner. The winner will be chosen from the top 5 voted members by the SMD Staff. (Added 4/1/15) Ok, here's the rules....1.) Systems must be playing & complete (or at least 95% complete) before nomination can take place. 2.) BUILD LOG WITH AT LEAST 5 PICTURES IS REQUIRED. If you do not have build pics at least a thread with the finished product. Give some info on your setup ex: box style, amps, subs, electrical system upgrades. TL score is optional but preferred. If build is already completed with no build pics then pics of final build is required. You can make your build log HERE. 3.) Professional installers or shop owners are not eligible to enter when a prize is offered. 4.) You can only win once a year, but if you don't win, you can enter as many times as you like. 5.) If you do not want to run please let it be known if nominated. 6.) If you are nominated and you are a "bad sport" you will be pulled from the nominations and suspended for 5 days out of disrespect and poor sportsmanship. 7.) If we see multiple IP address that will be used to "sway" votes, the accounts will be deleted and you will be pulled from the running. We want members to promote SOTM...hit up other forums and promote say "hey we have this competition going on check it out" but having family/friends just sign up to vote for you and leave will no longer slide. 8.) Staff of SMD (mods/supermods/admins) are no longer eligible of running in SOTM. 9.) SOTM is for Motor vehicles that drive on the road. MUST BE IN A VEHICLE (SUV, Car, Truck) not in a house, golf cart, wheel barrel, airplane, boat, wheelchair, dirtbike, 4 wheeler ect...(unless themed) 10.) MUST be your current set up. 11.) Raffling or offering the prize away to swing votes is not allowed.12.) One win per vehicle, one win per calendar year per person.13.) You must have at least 50 20 posts to enter and vote in SOTM. [edited by snafu 3/9/15]14.) SOTM Winner will be chosen by the SMD staff, out of the top 5 voted nominees. (Added 4/2/15) 15.) Have fun, nominate and vote up!!! WE WANT PARTICIPATION!!! *System of the Month rules are subject to change at any time. Any rules broken can/will results in removal of SOTM and possible suspension of the SMD Site. Respect all SMD staff member decisions for they are final. Any SMD Member that is caught cheating or manipulating the voting process in any way will be banned from SMD with extreme prejudice! Each SMD Member is allowed to vote only one time - that means each MEMBER . . . not each IP Address . . . not each user name. At SMD, we have a ZERO tolerance policy on groaning, whining, or bellyaching within SOTM so just don't do it. SOTM is a way for us to give back to our members - we encourage you to get your system in tip top shape and enter. If you don't win, there's always next month. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassl0va 24 Report post #2 Posted October 10, 2010 Just wondering, can you still win if you live outside of the US? Say down in New Zealand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n8ball2013 15211 Report post #3 Posted October 10, 2010 Just wondering, can you still win if you live outside of the US? Say down in New Zealand? absolutely. however if you do win and a prize is offered you may have to work with the sponsor to help with the shipping since it would be more than what they originally anticipated. That would be up to the sponsor though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky4Designs 2 Report post #4 Posted November 18, 2011 Sorry if this is a rather "n00b-ish" question, but is SOTM geared only towards the system, or does the rest of the interior have to be immaculate as well? My truck's interior is pretty clean now, but I do have small issues here and there (i.e tears in the driver's seat, cracked side view mirror, and one panel on the healiner towards the very back at the cab gave way) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

audiofanaticz 4045 Report post #7 Posted December 7, 2011 RULES TO SOTM 3.)Professional installers or shop owners are not eligible to enter when a prize is offered. Can you define a "master installers"? Does this mean anyone that works for a shop, was a rep for a shop, or runs a company out of his garage with his teammates selling and installing audio gear, as well as having their own team/company site, and national champions in competition.

Does this mean anyone that works for a shop, was a rep for a shop, or runs a company out of his garage with his teammates selling and installing audio gear, as well as having their own team/company site, and national champions in competition. I would think that only people that make their primary living by working in the car audio field as not being eligible for SOTM. Just because you do installs on the side for a little extra cash does not make you a professional, even though you may be better at it than alot of people that call themselves professional installers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrood1992 1 Report post #9 Posted December 12, 2012 Do you have to have been a member of SMD for a while or can recently enrolled members still enter if they still meet the requirements? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
