Frequently Asked Questions
How does the random team generator work?
Enter your list of names (one per line or type and add individually), choose how many teams you want or set a team size, and hit Generate. The tool uses your browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API for cryptographically secure randomness — the same technology used by password managers — ensuring every shuffle is completely fair and unbiased.
Can I split into teams by team size instead of number of teams?
Yes! Toggle from "Number of Teams" to "Team Size" mode. Enter how many people you want per team and the generator will automatically create as many teams as needed. If the total doesn't divide evenly, the last team will have the remaining members.
What is Captain Mode?
Captain Mode randomly selects one person from each team as the captain before revealing the full teams. This is great for pickup games, classroom activities, or any scenario where you need team leaders chosen fairly. Captains are highlighted with a crown icon on their team card.
Can I provide skill ratings for balanced teams?
Yes. Toggle on the "Skill Ratings" option and you can assign a rating (1–10) to each person. The generator will then distribute players so that each team has a roughly equal total skill rating, creating more balanced and competitive matchups.
Are my team names and data saved?
Your generated teams are saved to your browser's localStorage so you can revisit them even after closing the tab. Your name list is also remembered for convenience. All data stays on your device — nothing is ever sent to a server.
Can I copy the teams as text?
Absolutely. Click the "Copy Teams" button after generating to copy all teams in a clean text format to your clipboard. You can paste it into a chat, email, spreadsheet, or document.
What is the maximum number of people I can add?
There is no hard limit — the generator works smoothly with hundreds of names. For the best visual experience with the shuffle animation, we recommend up to 200 names, but larger lists will still work perfectly.
