About the Random Team Generator
Picking teams by hand invites arguments and quietly repeats the same groupings every week. This generator shuffles the list with a proper Fisher-Yates shuffle and deals people out round-robin, so team sizes stay as even as the numbers allow and nobody can claim the split was rigged.
How to use the Random Team Generator
- Paste your names, one per line.
- Choose either a number of teams or a target team size.
- Add custom team names if you want them.
- Press shuffle, and press it again for a different draw.
Why use this tool?
Two splitting modes
Fix the number of teams, or fix how many people each team should hold.
Even distribution
Round-robin dealing means sizes never differ by more than one person.
Copyable results
Copy the whole set of teams as text for a group chat or whiteboard.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when the numbers do not divide evenly?
Extra people are spread across the first teams, so with 10 people in 3 teams you get 4, 3 and 3.
Can I keep certain people together?
Put them on one line as a single entry — 'Ali & Sara' — and they will be placed as one unit.
Is the shuffle actually random?
Yes. It uses a Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by cryptographic random numbers, so every arrangement is equally likely.
