- Start with at least 2 names and 2 teams
- Use results for classrooms, sports, or event groups

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the random team generator fair?
Yes. Names are shuffled randomly and then distributed evenly across the number of teams you choose, so every name has an equal chance of landing on any team.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. This random team generator works directly in your browser with no sign-up.
Is it private?
Yes. Your names and team results are processed entirely in your browser and are not sent to a server.
What happens if the names don’t divide evenly?
Teams are filled as evenly as possible — if you have 7 names and 3 teams, you’ll get teams of 3, 2, and 2.
Can I export the teams?
Yes. Use the "Export Teams CSV" button to download the generated teams as a spreadsheet file.
Can I use this for classrooms or sports?
