Random Team Generator

Names are shuffled with a Fisher-Yates shuffle, which makes every possible ordering equally likely, then dealt out round-robin one at a time. Because dealing follows a fair shuffle, no position or name has an advantage, and the sizes stay within one of each other.

The leftover people are spread across the first teams, so no single team is overloaded. Seven names into three teams gives sizes of three, two, and two, with the first team getting the extra member.

Yes. Every press of Generate reshuffles the whole list, so you can keep regenerating until a split looks right or use a fresh draw to settle a dispute. Nothing is remembered between presses.

Paste as many names as you like, one per line. You can request any number of teams up to the number of names; the input caps at the current name count so you never create empty teams.

The tool clamps the request to the number of names, giving one person per team. For example, five names split into eight teams produces five teams of one rather than three empty groups.

Each line becomes one name. Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed and blank lines are dropped, so a stray empty line will not create a phantom member. The counter next to the team input shows exactly how many names were detected.

Yes. Duplicate names are treated as separate entries, so if two people are both called Sam they will each appear on a team. The tool matches on lines, not on unique values.

No. The shuffle randomizes everyone before dealing, so the input order has no effect on who ends up together. You can paste an alphabetical or sign-up-order list without biasing the result.

Yes. The names never leave your browser. Everything runs locally, so the tool is private, works offline, and has no signup or upload step.
