About This Tool

What is the Random Team Generator?

Our random team generator takes a list of people (or items) and splits them into the number of teams you choose. The algorithm shuffles everyone randomly and distributes them evenly across teams using round-robin assignment.

If the number of people does not divide evenly, some teams will have one extra member — the distribution stays as balanced as possible.
