- Paste the names, one per line.
- Choose how many teams — 2, 3, 4 or a custom number.
- Name the teams if you want to.
- Make teams, and shuffle again if you would rather have a different split.
How even is even
Nine people across four teams gives 3, 2, 2, 2. Sizes never differ by more than one, because names are shuffled first and then dealt out one at a time.
Why the shuffle matters
Chopping an alphabetical list into four blocks is not random — it puts everyone whose name starts with A on the same team every time. The list is shuffled with the same cryptographic randomness the wheel uses before anything is dealt.
Picking captains first
If you want captains chosen separately, run those on the wheel with “remove winner after spin” on, then put the rest through the team generator.
