Examples

Class group work

28 students into 7 teams gives 4 students per team, assigned completely at random.

Five-a-side football

13 players with team size 5 creates 3 teams: two teams of 4 and one of 5 — as balanced as 13 allows.

FAQ

How are the teams balanced?

Names are shuffled with cryptographic randomness and dealt round-robin, so team sizes never differ by more than one member.

What if the names don’t divide evenly?

The remainder is spread across the first teams. 7 people in 3 teams gives 3-2-2 — no team is ever two members larger than another.

Can the same person appear twice?

Each line is used exactly once. If a name is listed twice, it will appear in the result twice — remove duplicate lines first if that is not intended.

Are the names I enter uploaded anywhere?

No. The list is processed only in your browser and is never sent to our servers or analytics.
