A thousand or so ought to do it easily. If you can't decide for sure, more is better (in this case).

Or, if you want to get mathematical...
x=#teams
b=#buttons needed
15=avg. people per team that are interested in buttons

b=x*15+120

The extra 120? Judges and volunteers, plus extras. Ideally, round up to the nearest hundred. Bring blanks in case you run out.
