Frequently asked questions

How do I split names into random teams?

Paste your names (one per line), choose the number of teams, and press Generate Teams.

Are the teams really random?

Yes — names are shuffled with cryptographic-quality randomness before being dealt evenly into teams.

What if names don't divide evenly?

Teams are dealt round-robin, so the difference is never more than one person per team.
