Split into teams
Making fair random teams
Picking teams by hand is slow and someone always ends up picked last. This team picker shuffles your list with crypto.getRandomValues() — a Fisher–Yates shuffle with no bias — then deals names round-robin into the number of teams you choose, so team sizes never differ by more than one.
Paste the names, choose between 2 and 20 teams, and press Make teams. Not happy? Press it again for a completely new split. Copy the result to paste into a chat or onto the board. The wheel above still works too: spin it to pick team captains, decide which team goes first, or choose who picks the next activity.
Teachers use it for group projects and PE, coaches for scrimmages, and office managers for quiz nights and hackathons. Because the shuffle runs entirely in your browser, the list of names never leaves your device. Your names are not stored on this page either, so each visit starts with the sample list until you paste your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a list into random teams?↓
Paste the names into the entries box, one per line, set the number of teams in the Split into teams panel, and press Make teams. Names are shuffled with crypto.getRandomValues() and dealt evenly into teams.
Are the random teams balanced?↓
Team sizes are balanced: names are dealt round-robin, so no team has more than one extra member. The tool does not know about skill levels, so it balances numbers, not ability.
Do weights like Alice*3 affect the teams?↓
No. Weights only change how likely a name is to win a spin of the wheel. When splitting into teams, every name is placed exactly once.
