Question 1

How does the team generator split names fairly?

Accepted Answer

All names are shuffled using the browser's randomized shuffle algorithm, then distributed round-robin across the requested number of teams. This keeps team sizes as balanced as possible, with a difference of at most one player between any two teams.

Question 2

Can I split into a specific number of players per team instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Toggle to 'Players per team' mode and enter the desired group size. The tool will automatically calculate the number of teams needed and create as many balanced groups as possible.

Question 3

Is the team assignment truly random?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The shuffle uses a Fisher-Yates algorithm with cryptographically-suitable randomness, so each possible grouping has equal probability of appearing.

Question 4

What are common uses for this tool?

Accepted Answer

Classroom group work, pickup sports teams, board game sessions, ice-breaker activities, tournament seeding, escape room groups, classroom random picks, and assigning pairs for partner work.
