Seventy-four participants competed in the semi-final games, 24 of whom made it to the final.

On the day of the finals, the air in Gazprom Kyrgyzstan's computer room was as if it was electrified, as the finalists were competing in an arduous struggle for the right to become the best Business Cats players. An hour and a half after the start, the first players who had risked for a stunning victory, but were bankrupt overnight, began to walk away.

Artur Nizhegoltsev, a 10th-grader at school No. 15 from Bishkek, was the best player of the Kyrgyzstan Olympiad. He received the winner's diploma and the grand prize - iPad 10.

The list of winners also included and were awarded with Samsung A7 Lite:

Other participants of the final received diplomas and a Redmi Smart Band 2 smartwatch.

The organizers of the Olympics also did not neglect the semi-finalists and teachers. For example, semi-finalists received wireless headphones as consolation prizes, and teachers, who prepared the finalists, received Redmi 10A smartphones. The schools that had taken the most active part in the Olympiad were awarded Lenovo laptops.

The main gift for the students was an invitation to study at Alabuga Polytechnic, Russia's largest educational center for training qualified personnel.
