Fair teams without arguing
Type the players into Players, one per line, choose Number of teams or Players per team, and press Make fair teams. The teams come out as even in size as they can be – never more than one player apart.
Rather pick them the old way? Spin the wheel: each spin drafts the next player onto the team whose turn it is, like two captains choosing in turn.
Even strength
Add a number from 1 to 10 after a name for how good that player is – Anna 8, Ben 3 – and the teams come out even in strength as well as in size. The strength of each team is shown beside its name, so everybody can see it is fair.
Together or apart
- Keep apart – one group per line, names separated by commas: the two best players, or two who always argue, never end up in the same team.
- Keep together – siblings, a car share, a couple: always in the same team.
Give the teams names of your own in Team names, one per line – Red and Blue, Lions and Tigers – or leave it empty for Team 1, Team 2.
Take it with you
When the draw is done, the teams comes out of the page in whatever shape you need:
- Image (PNG) – a picture to send to the group chat or put on a screen.
- Excel (.xlsx) – a real workbook, laid out and ready to fill in.
- CSV – for Google Sheets, Numbers or anything else.
- Copy as text – for a message or an e-mail.
- Copy as table – paste straight into the cells of a spreadsheet.
- Print / PDF – the print dialog of your browser, where “Save as PDF” is one of the printers.
Everything happens in your browser and stays on this device: close the page and it is still there tomorrow.
