The Disney Channel Games is an olympic-based miniseries that has aired in the summer months since 2006. The Disney Channel Games have recently finished their second year, and is produced by 7ate9 Entertainment, located in Hollywood, California.
Premise
The miniseries takes Disney Channel stars and divides them into four teams. Each week, selected members of each team compete against each other in obstacles and games. Depending on how well each team does, a certain number of points will be added to each team's score. 1st 200, 2nd 150, 3rd 100,4th 75. While this is the primary way teams get points, fans can also play selected games on Disney Channel's official website and submit the points they earn to their favorite team. The team with the most points submitted in is given bonus points. Also, one week after each event, the Most Valuable Player MVP (who is voted upon by viewers online) is announced. After eight weeks of competition, the winning team is announced.
The Disney Channel Games airs on Saturday nights from 8pm-10pm on Disney Channel during the summer seasons. The competitions are shown in between new episodes of four Disney Channel shows.

The Winning Team
The Green Team won the competition and chose to donate the $25,000 to the The Boys and Girls Club Of America. But, in a final twist, Disney gave each team $25,000 too. So at the end of the day all Teams finished the 2007 games with money for their charity!
