[GDNET] Graph Drawing Live Challenge 2020: details (tomorrow, Sep 15!)

[Philipp Kindermann]

Dear Graph Drawers,

this year's Graph Drawing Live Challenge will take place the day before
the Graph Drawing Conference on

    Tuesday, Sep 15, 09:00 PDT (16:00 UTC, 18:00 CEST)

and will last exactly 1 hour. This year's topic is
   
    minimizing the number of crossings in a straight-line upward drawing
on a fixed grid.
   
You can participate in either the automatic or the manual category.
For the automatic category, you may use any tools you want, but are
limited to one computer per team.
For the manual category, you are only allowed to use the provided
drawing tool.
There is a gather.town space for the contest where you can meet to team
up and to ask questions. There are several tables you can use to
participate together remotely, with one person sharing their screen to
(only) the other people on the table.
Please be there 15 minutes prior to the start of the challenge for a
brief introduction.
The winners will be announced during the conference and on the contest
website.

Good luck and have fun with the graphs!
