Round 2 matchups

Now that Round 1 has been completed, with some delightfully interesting matchups, my main goal is to actually finish this and be at least somewhat entertaining and educatimating.

Round 2 matchups have been run through the random sequence generator again and are as follows:

3 Bill Clinton 21 James Madison
22 Jimmy Carter 9 Richard Nixon
14 Gerald Ford 1 Thomas Jefferson
12 Dwight Eisenhower 13 Rutherford Hayes
20 James Polk 19 Harry Truman
16 Andrew Johnson 17 John Kennedy
10 Barack Obama 11 William Taft
2 Chester Arthur 4 Theodore Roosevelt
8 George H.W. Bush 6 Franklin Roosevelt
5 James Garfield 15 Warren Harding
7 Ronald Reagan 18 Lyndon Johnson


Damn you, random sequence generator. You had no good reason for putting 2 and 4 together.

However, if you'll notice, there are 22 presidents remaining in this tournament. Thus, we will have 11 after this round. There will then be 5 wild card presidents who also move onto Round 3, bringing the total to 2^4 presidents. How the wild cards will be picked will be announced later on (when I decide how to pick them [which may be when I figure out how to ensure Chester Arthur in them {which might not happen so expect it by the end of Reagan vs. NUMBER 18!!!}]).
