Random team generator

Make fair teams.
Race for the spots.

Add your players, choose the number of teams and players per team, then let an animated race decide the assignments. It is a fast team picker for pickup sports, gym class, game night, work groups, and more.

How to make random teams

The ski, horse, and boat races give you control over team count and team size while keeping the result easy to follow.

01

Add the players

Enter one person or choice per line and use Shuffle if you want to remix the input display.

02

Set the teams

Select Make Teams, then choose how many teams and how many players per team you need.

03

Run the race

The randomized finish determines the teams, which appear in clear groups after the race.

Flexible teams for real groups

If you choose four teams of two, the first eight entries fill those teams. Extra names appear as alternates. If only seven people race, one team will simply have one player.

Pickup sports

Split basketball, soccer, volleyball, or other pickup players without captains or arguments.

Make teams by ski race

Class and work

Create project groups, activity teams, discussion tables, or workshop groups in a visible way.

Make teams by horse race

Parties and games

Divide trivia, board game, camp, or family groups while making the selection part of the fun.

Make teams by boat race

Random team generator questions

Can I choose the number and size of teams?

Yes. In the ski, horse, and boat race team modes, choose how many teams you want and how many players should be on each team.

What happens when the teams are uneven?

A smaller group can leave the last team with fewer players. If the list is larger than the available team slots, the remaining names are listed as alternates.

How are the teams assigned?

After the randomized finish order is set, entries are assigned across the selected teams in round-robin order.
