Paste names, pick a team count, and get fair random teams in one click. No more "captains pick" arguments.
Enter any list of names and split them into balanced, random teams. The list is shuffled with cryptographic randomness and dealt round-robin, so teams are as even as possible and nobody can complain about stacked picks or being chosen last.
Random assignment beats "captains pick" every time for casual play: it's faster, it's provably fair, and it mixes friend groups instead of clustering them. Teachers love it for project groups, lab partners, and breakout rooms; coaches use it for pickup games and tournament brackets; offices use it for hackathon teams and Secret Santa pools. Project it on screen and the whole room can see the draw happen.
