Category: Random & Generation

When to use?

Use it to quickly split participants into teams for company workshops, study groups, games, or class activities.

How to use

  • Enter the participant list, one per line.
  • Choose by team count or members per team.
  • Press make teams to see the result.

Input Explanation

Enter the participant list and specify the desired number of teams or members per team.

Calculation Basis

It shuffles the participant array, then splits by the chosen basis (team count or members) to assign teams fairly, distributing leftovers in order.

Usage Examples

  • Form study groups - Shuffle participants into presentation or discussion groups.
  • Assign workshop teams - Split activity members evenly into teams.
  • Run meetings/classes - Quickly decide order, picks, and simple draws to save time.

Examples

  • Split 14 people into 4 teams → 4, 4, 3, 3 randomly assigned
  • Split 12 people at 4 per team → 3 teams

Cautions

  • It is based on mathematical randomness, differing from real-world physical odds.
  • It is not suitable for commercial draws with money at stake or high-security randomness.

Guides

Team count vs. members per team

By team count, it splits participants into the set number of teams; by members per team, it computes the needed teams for that size.

Member distribution

If participants do not divide evenly, some teams may have one more member.

FAQ

Are team sizes exactly equal?

If it does not divide evenly, some teams may have 1 more.

Do I set both team count and members?

Choose just one of the two bases.

Is team assignment random?

Participants are shuffled before assignment, so who goes where is fully random.

What if it does not divide evenly?

Leftover members are added one each from the first team so size differences are minimal.
