I didn’t think I would get a response like this. I need to decide if I have another few that I can spin off. People can keep
posting interest, but I don’t know how many extras I will have.
I went ahead and determined who will receive the red "NUTS" dealer button in their sample set. I limited it to the first 20 people who wanted a sample set, because that's what I said I would do in the OP. Then I went online and printed a 20-team bracket. The first 12 people got a "bye" into round 2. So round 1 included the last 8 people.
Then I went online and found a site that does games of “war” with playing cards. Each matchup in the above bracket was a “war” battle. Here are the results.
There were two "war" showdowns. The first was in round 1, when @JesterTX moved on (eventually moving on to the final round). The second was in the final four, when @TheBigTater went into the final. The final round was a 7 versus a 6. Not too exciting, but it was a close one.
