Description:
SIGGRAPH Bowl 2 builds on the tradition established by SIGGRAPH Bowl I
at SIGGRAPH 90 to spotlight the most enthusiastic, dedicated, and determined of the SIGGRAPH graphics gurus.
In a format loosely based on College Bowl, invited teams representing leading universities, companies, and research centers test their knowledge of SIGGRAPH, computer graphics, and interactive techniques. Participants are challenged to identify quotes from important SIGGRAPH papers of the past and recognize images and animations from earlier years. Some questions will probe more trivial topics related to SIGGRAPH events, trends, personalities, and matters of historical interest within the SIGGRAPH organization and the computer graphics community.
Don’t miss this entertaining and fascinating challenge. Whether you are a veteran who has been attending SIGGRAPH or reading the Conference Proceedings for many years, or a newcomer who wants to hear about the
“good old days,” this is the event for you. It’s your opportunity to root for
your favorite team and expand your knowledge of SIGGRAPH trivia.
