STEP 1
Enter one participant per line. If names repeat, decide whether they identify separate people or accidental duplicates.
GROUP GAME PREPARATION
Random Team Generator
Randomly split a roster into teams with balanced sizes. Choose how many teams you need or the maximum number of people per team.
1 Prepare your inputs
Free to generate, copy, print and download. Your inputs stay in this tab unless you choose account saving. Refreshing or closing the tab clears unsaved work.

Your preparation starts here
Add your roster to see balanced teams. Repeated names require your decision.
Fair sizes, clear membership
STEP 2
Choose a team count or maximum size. Every retained roster entry is assigned once, with team sizes differing by no more than one.
STEP 3
Reshuffle for a fresh random assignment, then copy or print the teams. Team names are optional; participant names stay local until you explicitly save.
A useful starting point
Seven participants split into three teams produce sizes of 3, 2 and 2. A maximum team size of three gives the same sizes. People with the same name remain distinct when you choose to keep them.
What to expect
Supports 1–500 participants. Browser cryptographic randomness drives the shuffle. This tool balances numbers of people, not skills, friendships or other constraints; it does not choose captains or prevent repeat pairings.
Put the teams to use
Compare game formats for your group, then enter the team names in the game you choose. These assignments are preparation only; no roster is sent to a game website.
