2v2 Throwdown Round 6
A return to equality this week, as the 16 remaining Winner Bracket teams are back in action alongside their Loser Bracket brethren, all of whom are greeted by our latest map offering, What's A Scope's Voodoo. Round 6 will be the last round in the Group Stages if you are (and can remain) in the Winner Bracket. The Loser Bracket will have to go through Round 7 before they see the back of the Group Stages, but once both sets of teams are over this hump, Round 8 will bring us in to start of the Championship Bracket. There we'll be left with only 8 Winner Bracket teams and 8 Loser Bracket teams in the tournament, and the competition will be getting significantly tougher as the best that each group has to offer are pitted against one another. Until then, the drill for Round 6 is the same as other even numbered rounds:
Matches have now been posted in the Bracket Boards. Your group remains the same as in previous rounds.
If you were in the Winners Bracket during Round 4 and won your match, you continue in the Winners Bracket.
If you were in the Losers Bracket during Round 5 and won your match, you continue in the Losers Bracket.
If you were in the Losers Bracket during Round 5 and lost your match, you have been eliminated from the tournament.
You must organise your match in your designated match thread, the proper process for which is detailed in the thread. Remember, matches are best of 3 games, all of which must use the official Throwdown gametype on the specified map for the respective round.
Matches must be played and the results posted (with Bungie.net game link as proof) by Midnight EST on Sunday the 18th of September.
As always, would like to emphasise how it is each team's responsibility to do all they can to contact and organise a time with their opponents, as in cases where the match is not played it is in your interests to prove that you made every effort possible, thereby avoiding the forfeit. We would also like to remind contestants that any issues or complaints made against an opponent should (if relevant) be accompanied by a saved film of the game in question, uploaded to a file share and linked in the message. Complaints, issues or questions can be sent in a Personal message to myself.
Once again, here are the map and gametype links for your convenience:

http://www.astrogaming.com/No new map this week, watch out a week today for the round 8/9 map to be released. Until then, why not take a look at our Throwdown Media submission process if you feel you've snagged a kill or two, perhaps even a whole game, that is worth a watch? Come the end of the tournament, your clips may even make it in to a front page video extravaganza to showcase the most epic moments of the 2v2 Throwdown. Screenshots are also more than welcome, so be sure to save your games as you progress through the tournament in the hopes of capturing that epic moment on film.
Keep your eyes on the prize and as always, good luck!
