Frequently Asked Questions

The tool shuffles your list of names using the Fisher-Yates algorithm — one of the most reliable shuffling methods — and then distributes names into teams round-robin style to ensure maximum balance.
Teams will be as equal as mathematically possible. If the number of participants does not divide evenly by the number of teams, some teams will have one extra member. For example, 10 names split into 3 teams gives two teams of 3 and one team of 4.
There is no hard limit enforced by the tool. In practice, the browser handles hundreds of names without any issue. Simply paste your full list, one name per line, and click generate.
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, and names are not stored or logged anywhere. Your participant list stays completely private.
Popular scenarios include dividing a class into study or project groups, splitting players for sports days and PE lessons, organizing hackathon teams, assigning teams for trivia nights, or creating fair sides for any group activity where random assignment matters.
