        How to use the Random Team Generator

        Split a class, a club or a group of friends into fair, random teams in seconds.

        Add people

        1. Type a name in the People panel and press Enter, or paste a whole list: each line becomes a person.
        2. Edit as text shows everyone one per line to edit at once. Import CSV reads a file with a name in the first column and, if you like, a gender or label in the second.
        3. Untick someone to leave them out of this round without deleting them.

        A list holds up to 500 people. More has Titles, Sort A to Z, Hide gender and labels, and Remove everyone (with Undo).

        Choose the teams

        Open Grouping. Set the Number of teams, or people per team and the number of teams follows. People are shared out as evenly as possible.

        • People to pick puts only that many in teams, drawn at random. Use it to form random pairs or a small squad from a big list.
        • Team sizes: Set each lets you give every team its own size.
        • Team names renames Team 1, Team 2 and so on, for example after tasks or colors.
        • Fixed team members puts chosen people in a team of your choice. Everyone else is placed at random.

        Balance the teams

        Balance each team by Gender gives every team as even a mix as possible. Set each person to male or female in the list. Label does the same with labels A to F, for skill levels, grades or anything else you want spread across teams.

        Show gender or label in teams marks each name in the results.

        Make teams

        Press Make teams or Ctrl+Enter. Names drop into their teams one by one, then the Teams board opens.

        • Pick leaders picks one person from each team at random, marked with a flag. Tick Pick a leader for each team to do it every time.
        • Download CSV saves the teams for a spreadsheet. Save image saves a picture of the board.
        • Results link makes a link anyone can open to see these teams.
        • Titles, in More, sets the board's title. Give several and each grouping uses the next one.

        Settings sets how long grouping and picking leaders take, and turns sound and confetti on or off.

        Join with a link

        Choose Grouping: People join with a link, set how many will join (or how many men and women, to balance by gender) and the teams, then press Create join link.

        Each person who opens the link types their name and spins a wheel of the teams with places left, and lands in one at random. Your page fills in as they join. Close link stops new joins, and Move them into my list lets you regroup everyone yourself.

        Save and share

        Every list you edit is saved in Files in this browser. New list starts a blank one. Share makes a link to a copy of your list and settings. The buttons under the teams hide the list or show the teams full screen, for a projector.

        Is it fair?

        Yes. Teams are drawn with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and every split with the sizes you chose is equally likely. On a join link, the server picks each team with exactly the odds the wheel shows.
