Frequently asked questions

How does the random team generator balance odd numbers of participants?

When the participant count is not evenly divisible, the generator distributes extra members across teams one by one via round-robin, ensuring team sizes differ by at most one member for maximum fairness.

Can I manually move members between teams after generation?

Yes. Each member has a quick "Move..." dropdown that lets you immediately reassign them to another squad without having to re-roll the entire group.

Is there a limit to how many names I can add?

No practical limit. You can paste dozens or hundreds of names in the bulk text editor, and the generator will partition them in milliseconds.

Is my roster of names saved or sent to any server?

No. The entire process runs 100% locally in your browser. None of your names or rosters are transmitted or stored remotely.
