FAQ

Q.How does the random assignment algorithm work?

A.

The tool utilizes the browser's standard pseudo-random number generation algorithm to mathematically shuffle the entire list of participants, completely independent of the order in which they were entered, before dividing them.

Q.What happens if the total number of participants cannot be divided equally?

A.

An even-distribution logic is applied to ensure that the difference in size between any two teams never exceeds one person. For example, if you divide 10 people into 3 teams, the remaining person is assigned to the first team after shuffling, resulting in team sizes of 4, 3, and 3.

Q.How does the tool handle delimiters and duplicate names?

A.

Both line breaks (Enter) and commas (,) are recognized as valid delimiters separating individual participants. Any trailing spaces or empty lines are automatically removed before processing. However, if the exact same name is entered multiple times, the system treats each as an independent participant. For people with the same name, we recommend adding a number or initial (e.g., John1, JohnA).

Q.How exactly does the 'Pick a captain for each team' option operate?

A.

The system first randomly extracts a number of individuals equal to the total number of teams and assigns one as the captain for each team. The remaining unselected participants are then mathematically reshuffled and distributed evenly among the teams.

Q.Is there any risk of the participant names or results being stored or leaked?

A.

This tool operates entirely on the client-side, meaning all calculations are performed locally within your web browser. The participant names you enter and the generated team results are never transmitted to or stored on any external servers.
