Random Team Generator
Drop in a list of names, say how many teams you need, and get a fair, evenly split shuffle.
How it works
Paste your names one per line (or separate them with commas), choose how many teams you want, and generate. The tool shuffles everyone and deals them out round-robin, so the teams come out as even as the numbers allow.
Because it deals one name at a time across the teams, an odd count never dumps all the leftovers on one side — if you've got seven players and two teams, you get four and three, not five and two.
The shuffle uses your browser's random generator, so nobody's stuck on the same team every week. Not happy with the split? Just generate again for a completely new arrangement.
Frequently asked questions
How does it keep teams even?
It shuffles the names, then deals them out one at a time across the teams like dealing cards. The most any two teams can differ by is a single person.
Can I separate names with commas?
Yes. Put each name on its own line or separate them with commas — the tool handles both and ignores blank entries.
Is the same person ever left out?
No. Everyone you paste in lands on a team. If you have fewer names than teams, some teams simply come out empty.
