Quick answer

What does Random Team Generator do?

Random Team Generator shuffles a participant list and fills the smallest teams first to keep group sizes close. Optional fixed assignments and keep-apart pairs are applied as constraints, but the final teams should be reviewed when rules conflict.

Team setup: Team count or target size
Balance rule: Smallest team filled first
Constraints: Fixed teams and keep-apart pairs
Output: Copy, print or CSV

About this tool

Why use Random Team Generator?

Build balanced teams from a participant list while keeping the process visible and repeatable. You can select a team count or target size, supply team names, pin people to teams and describe pairs who should not be grouped together.

How to use it

Enter every participant once.
Choose the number of teams or people per team.
Optionally add team names, fixed assignments or separation rules.
Generate, reshuffle, print or download the teams.

Common use cases

Classroom group work
Workshop breakouts
Friendly game teams

Practical examples

Divide 23 workshop attendees into five near-equal groups.
Keep two facilitators on separate teams.
Pin a team captain before filling the remaining places randomly.

How it works

Random values come from window.crypto.getRandomValues(). Lists are shuffled with an unbiased Fisher–Yates process. For a wheel, the result is chosen before the animation; for weighted entries, each positive weight defines its share of the total probability.

Limits to understand

Conflicting constraints may be impossible to satisfy.
Random grouping does not guarantee skill or demographic balance.
Review accessibility and safeguarding needs before publishing teams.
