How to make random teams

Paste the names, one per line, then choose how you want to split them: a fixed number of teams, or a fixed number of players per team. The tool shows the exact distribution before you commit — for example three teams of five and one team of four. Press Generate and the shuffled teams appear as cards you can rename, print or copy.

A tip for fairer teams: if you already know a few strong players, generate the teams first and then drag individual names between cards to balance things by hand. The result is marked as edited so everyone knows the draw was adjusted, and Shuffle again is always one click away if you prefer a fresh random draw.

Every draw shuffles the full list with a Fisher–Yates shuffle driven by crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure random source, so no name is favoured and no pattern from a previous round carries over. Teams differ in size by at most one person, always.

Your list and settings are saved in your browser under a key that only this tool reads, so your group is still there next week. Nothing is uploaded unless you create a share link on purpose.

Frequently asked questions

The remaining people are spread one per team, so some teams simply have one extra member. Team sizes never differ by more than one person, and the live distribution preview shows the exact split before you generate.

Yes. Drag any name from one team card to another to move it, and click a team's name to rename it. The result is flagged as edited so it is clear the draw was adjusted by hand.

Yes. The Print button uses a clean print stylesheet that shows only the team cards — no menus, buttons or ads — so you can pin the result on a noticeboard.

Yes. The Share dialog builds a link containing your list and team settings, so anyone who opens it can generate the same kind of draw. The link is optional; your list stays on your device otherwise.
