Add players and randomly split them into fair teams.

Click "Pick Teams" to generate random teams

Picking teams manually is either painfully slow or quietly political. This random team picker removes both problems. Paste in the names of everyone playing, choose how many teams you want, and the tool splits them up instantly. Teams are built using a Fisher-Yates shuffle, which means every possible arrangement of players has an equal chance of coming out. No one gets to complain the teams were rigged.
