A random team generator (participant splitter) shuffles a list of names and assigns members to balanced groups so teachers, coaches, and facilitators can skip drawing names from a hat. It is designed for group assignments and activities—not as a roster database, skill matcher, or league administration tool.
This Muxgen tool runs in your browser: paste into the Participants textarea (default 8 sample names), pick a Split mode, set Number of teams or Members per team, generate via generateTeams with shuffleArray and round-robin distribution, and copy with formatTeamCopyList. No account and no server upload for your participant list.
Default settings use Set number of teams with 2 teams—2 teams × 4 members for 8 participants. Switch to members-per-team mode when fixed group sizes matter more than a fixed team count.
Three simple steps from name list to copy-ready team rosters.
Enter one name per line in the Participants textarea—default sample lists 8 names. Watch Total participants update via parseParticipants.
Pick Set number of teams or Set members per team. Set Number of teams (2–20, default 2) or Members per team (1–100, default 4).
Click Generate teams, review emerald team cards on the right, then Copy to clipboard for announcements, chat, or worksheets.
Every control in the random team generator component.
Multiline input id participants—default 8 lines from DEFAULT_PARTICIPANTS_TEXT. parseParticipants trims and filters blanks on every keystroke.
Live participants.length display below the textarea. Must reach 2 before Generate teams enables.
2 toggle buttons from SPLIT_MODE_OPTIONS—default Set number of teams. Switches between team-count and members-per-team inputs.
Visible when split mode is team-count. Range 2–20, default 2. Clamped on change; resolveTeamCount caps at participant count.
Visible when split mode is members-per-team. Range 1–100, default 4. Drives Math.ceil(participants ÷ size) team count.
Polite region reporting split mode updates and post-generate status from generateTeams—team count, participant count, and per-team size summary.
Primary full-width button—disabled when participants.length < 2. Runs shuffleArray + round-robin via generateTeams.
Ghost button on the result panel—exports formatTeamCopyList output when teams exist; Copied! feedback for two seconds.
How each Split mode fieldset option drives resolveTeamCount in random-team-generator-data.ts.
| Split mode | Value | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Set number of teams | team-count | You set Number of teams (2–20); resolveTeamCount caps at participant count. Default 2 teams. |
| Set members per team | members-per-team | You set Members per team (1–100); team count becomes Math.ceil(participants ÷ size). Default 4 members per team. |
Illustrative outcomes from describeBalance—deterministic math before shuffle; round-robin keeps sizes within these ranges.
| Participants | Teams requested | Expected balance |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 2 | 2 teams × 4 members |
| 8 | 3 | 2 team(s) of 3, 1 of 2 |
| 8 | 4 | 4 teams × 2 members |
| 10 | 3 | 1 team(s) of 4, 2 of 3 |
| 12 | 4 | 4 teams × 3 members |
| 8 | 2 | Default sample (2 teams) |

How Set number of teams and Set members per team interact with shuffleArray and round-robin assignment.
Best when you know you need exactly 2–20 squads—debate sides, double-elimination brackets, or red vs blue. Default 2 teams for 8 participants yields 2 teams × 4 members.
Best when station capacity fixes group size—labs with 4-person tables, basketball half-courts, or escape-room rooms. 8 participants at 4 per team → 2 teams.
Both modes use the same shuffleArray + i % totalTeams assignment—only resolveTeamCount differs. Sizes stay within one member when counts do not divide evenly.
With 2 participants and team-count set to 20, resolveTeamCount returns 2 teams of one—empty teams are never created.
Members per team accepts up to 100; team-count mode accepts up to 20 teams. Paste long lists for camps, conferences, or league drafts.
