Traffic Bowl 2020!
 
Are you ready for Traffic Bowl? We didn’t think so, but you better get ready!
For the past 28 years, Oregon ITE has invited students and professionals to meet in person to enjoy dinner and drinks while schools answer trivia questions and compete for oversized checks and a trophy. COVID-19 may have said “Too Damn Bad!” to in person events, but that can’t stop the Traffic Bowl. This year we are throwing out all the rules (because why not, It’s 2020.)
 
Mark your calendars for November 19th and plan to join us for the 29th annual Bill Kloos Traffic Bowl.
What’s different this year:
  • The Traffic Bowl will be held online via Zoom.
  • Traffic Bowl will be a team trivia style event instead of a Jeopardy style event.  
  • Everyone (student and professional) gets to participate.
  • The official student teams will all receive the same amount of prize money.
 
What’s the same this year:
  • The official student teams will be competing for the glory of having their name added to the Traffic Bowl trophy.
  • Traffic Bowl is still the best thing to do on the Thursday before Thanksgiving.
  • There will still be prizes, and if you are not present, well… “Too Damn Bad!”
 
The event will run from 6:00 - 8:00 PM, starting with a 30-minute happy hour and set-up period to sort people into their Traffic Bowl teams.

So mark you calendars, brush up on your trivia, and don’t forget to register for the 29th Annual Bill Kloos Traffic Bowl.
