Frequently asked questions

How do I make random teams?

Paste the names, one per line, choose the number of teams (or people per team) and click Make teams. Every click makes a new random split.

Are the teams fair?

The order is shuffled with your browser's secure random generator using an unbiased shuffle, so every arrangement is equally likely. Players are then dealt in turn, so team sizes differ by at most one.

Can I balance teams by skill?

Not automatically. For balanced teams, run it a few times and pick a split that looks even, or list your strongest players first and deal them out manually.

Is there a limit?

No practical limit: hundreds of names work fine.

Is the randomness fair?

Yes. Team splits, draws and brackets use your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator with unbiased shuffling, so every arrangement is equally likely.

Is the test data real?

No. Names are common names combined at random, emails use the reserved example.com domains, and US and UK phone numbers come from ranges reserved for fiction. Don't use generated data to contact anyone.

Is anything I enter saved?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
