Common uses
Use the random team generator for classrooms, workshops, sports, meetings, games, hackathons and any activity where participants need to be distributed randomly across teams.
Sports and games
Create balanced teams quickly before a match, activity or tournament.
Workshops and meetings
Split participants into breakout teams for exercises, discussions or project work.
Classrooms
Distribute students across random teams while keeping group sizes as even as possible.
How the randomization works
Participants are shuffled first and then distributed across teams. You can define either the number of teams or the maximum number of players per team, depending on how you want to organize the activity.
Practical tips
- •Remove duplicate names unless duplicates represent intentional extra entries.
- •Use Number of teams when the number of groups is fixed.
- •Use Players per team when room or activity size matters more than the number of groups.
