How the Team Generator works under the hood
The generator shuffles the full name list and deals it round-robin into the number of teams you set, so team sizes stay within one of each other and no one influences placement. The result is a genuinely random partition, refreshed on every click. Names are processed locally, so participant data is never transmitted.
What the Team Generator does not do
With very uneven team counts, the last team may have fewer members; the tool balances sizes as evenly as the numbers allow.
Common questions about the Team Generator
Are team sizes equal?
Sizes stay within one member of each other when the count divides evenly.
Can I exclude certain pairings?
Regenerate for a new draw; advanced constraint handling is outside the tool's scope.
Are the names saved?
No. Names are used only for the current generation and never leave your browser.
