How teams are made
flipj shuffles the whole list with the Fisher–Yates method using your browser's cryptographic random number generator, then deals names into teams like cards. Team sizes never differ by more than one person.
Tips for fair teams
- For skill-balanced teams, generate teams separately for your strongest players and everyone else, then combine them.
- Give teams names after the draw, not before, so nobody feels a team was "made" for them.
- Use the random wheel to decide which team goes first.
Questions
What if the names don't divide evenly?
Some teams get one extra person. Sizes never differ by more than one.
Can I choose people per team instead of number of teams?
Yes, switch the option to "people per team" and flipj works out how many teams you need.
