There were over 800 participants in the button olympics, with 15 people getting enough water to drink for a year, 18 whole trees planted, and the members of the Olympics raised 6,238,470 grains of rice, enough to feed 321 people for a day. The best teams of the games had the Emerald Council in first with 10 points. In second came the Knights of the Button with 8 points. In third the Destructionists United and the Can't Pressers were tied with 4 points apiece.

The following is a complete list of all of the competitions and their winners.
