Random Team Generator

Paste a roster, pick a team count, and get a fair split. The seed is generated with the draw and stays on screen — anyone can re-run it to verify.

How the split works

The generator shuffles your roster with a seeded pseudo-random number generator, then deals names round-robin into your chosen number of teams. That keeps every team within one player of every other — and keeps the whole draw reproducible from its seed.

  • Roster input: paste names one per line or comma-separated; duplicates are flagged before you draw.
  • Team count: 2–8 teams; odd rosters are balanced automatically.
  • History-aware: repeat draws on the same page avoid re-pairing people who shared a team last time.
  • Seed: shown on the result and encoded into the share link.
  • Redraw: only creates a new seed when you ask — never silently.

Who uses a random team generator

Teachers use it to split a class into balanced squads for group work or games. Coaches use it to draft fair sides at practice without accusations of favoritism. Office managers use it to randomize teams for trivia, volunteer rosters or hackathon squads.

Every scenario has the same requirement: the split has to be defensible. That is why the seed stays on screen and why the same seed always reproduces the same teams — you can prove the split was luck, not preference.

Is the draw really fair?

Yes. The outcome is fully determined by the seed and your roster. The exact algorithm is published in our fairness guide, so you can reproduce any draw independently.

Can I share a result?

Yes — “Copy share link” encodes the roster, team count, and seed into the URL. Opening the link restores the exact same teams.

Does it work offline?

The draw runs entirely in your browser. No names ever leave your device.

Can I keep two players apart?

Keep-apart rules are available in the group generator — the same engine, plus constraints.
