Team Generator

Deals a list into teams the way you'd deal cards: shuffle first, then go round one at a time. That keeps team sizes even and removes the awkwardness of captains picking sides.

Paste a whole list at once — blank lines are ignored.

Fill in the form, then run it.

How to use the team generator

  1. Paste your list — one name per line.
  2. Choose how many teams you need.
  3. Generate again for a completely different split.

Team Generator questions

Are the teams always the same size?

As close as the numbers allow. Eleven people across three teams gives 4/4/3 — never 6/3/2.

Can I keep two people apart, or together?

Not automatically. Generate, then move a name by hand if you need a constraint — or run one team at a time with the team picker wheel.

Is the shuffle properly random?

It's a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by the browser's cryptographic random source, so every arrangement is equally likely.
