About Random team generator

Paste a list of names, choose the number of teams or the team size, and shuffle into fair random groups. The same page can pick random winners. Random splitting avoids favouritism in class projects, sports sessions and workshops, and you can reshuffle if the result looks lopsided.

How to use Random team generator

  1. Paste your list of names, one per line.
  2. Choose the number of teams or people per team.
  3. Press generate to see fair random teams, or pick random winners.

Frequently asked questions

What if the names do not divide evenly?

Teams differ by at most one person. For 10 names in 3 teams you get groups of 4, 3 and 3, so nobody is left out.

Can I keep two people on separate teams?

If the tool has no rule for that, reshuffle until the pair is split, or place them manually after the draw. Random mixing will not guarantee it by itself.

How can I pick a captain?

Pick random winners from the list first, one for each team, then fill out the teams from the rest. This gives every person the same chance of leading.
