Preference lists
Buttons are assigned by a least-squares method, such that the sum of the squares of the preference rankings of the buttons is minimized (1 point for first choice, 4 points for second, etc).

Props to devious for putting someone other than Horace, Piro, Indiana, or Anders in his top three. Unfortunately, no one else did, so someone's getting their fourth choice, and that someone is blackshadowshade on the coin flip.

27 total points.

Matches
Each game is listed twice, once in each player's row; the scores in the row for the player, and the background color (green for a win, red for a loss), are from that player's perspective.

Standings
The standings are determined by percentage of games won, with ties broken by head-to-head results (among the tied players), or total percentage of rounds won.

mcculloch and blackshadowshade are relegated to Division B.

Five unique first choice picks; the Indiana people both put Piro second, and the Piro person put Indiana second, so five firsts and a third is the best outcome. Limax won the coin flip.

Everybody loves Speed dice! Too bad only two buttons have them. With everyone putting the same two buttons first, and only four different buttons in the collective top two, the best we can do is two firsts, two seconds, and two thirds. raymund and nkmcalli won the coin flip.

Five different #1 picks again, but if all five get their first choice, the sixth gets #3 or #4. A better allocation is for Kaori and one other person to get their second choice; alwayslurking won the coin flip against gauen.

You might think a four-player division would have better odds of everyone getting their first pick, but not when everyone puts Indiana and Piro in their top two. With one exception, but that still means someone's getting their third choice. AnnoDomini won the coin flip here.
