FAQ - Random Team Generator
How does the random team generator work?
The random team generator uses a fair randomization algorithm to shuffle your list of names and distribute them across teams. You can choose balanced teams (equal size) or random distribution, and the tool automatically assigns everyone.
Is the team randomizer truly random?
Yes! Our team randomizer uses a cryptographically secure random algorithm to ensure completely fair and unbiased team selection. Every person has an equal chance of being placed on any team.
Can I create uneven teams?
Yes. If you disable the 'Balanced Teams' option, the generator will use round-robin distribution which may create teams of different sizes. With balanced teams enabled, all teams will have equal or near-equal sizes.
How many teams can I create?
You can create between 2 and 10 teams at once. Alternatively, you can specify how many members you want per team, and the generator will automatically calculate the number of teams needed.
Can I customize team names?
Absolutely! You can choose from three naming styles: Team A/B/C (letters), Team 1/2/3 (numbers), or custom names where you provide your own team names (e.g., Red Team, Blue Team, etc.).
Can I export or share the teams?
Yes! You can copy individual teams or all teams to clipboard, download as TXT or JSON file, or print the team assignments. This makes it easy to share results with participants or keep records.
Is this tool good for classroom use?
Definitely! Teachers love using our random team generator to create study groups, project teams, or activity partners. It's fair, transparent, and saves time compared to manual division.
Can I regenerate teams if I don't like the result?
Yes! Simply click 'Shuffle & Regenerate' to create a new random distribution with the same settings. You can regenerate as many times as you want until you're satisfied with the teams.
