How are uneven participant counts handled?

Members are distributed as evenly as the requested structure allows. Some teams may contain one more participant than others when the total cannot divide exactly.

What is the difference between the two team modes?

Number of teams fixes how many groups are created. Members per team treats the entered value as a maximum and calculates the necessary number of groups.

Can two people with the same name be kept separately?

Yes. Leave Remove duplicate entries off and each line remains an independent participant, even if the displayed text matches.

Does Shuffle again modify the participant list?

No. It creates a new random assignment from the same current inputs and settings, replacing only the generated teams.

Frequently asked questions

About Random Team Generator

Forming groups fairly requires both random placement and sensible sizes. This generator shuffles the eligible participants, then distributes them so team counts differ as little as possible. Two planning modes let organizers start from the number of groups or from a capacity limit.

Input statistics reveal total, unique and available participants before generation, preventing duplicate handling from becoming a hidden rule. Results can move directly into a message, text document or CSV roster, and no participant list is uploaded.
