Make Teams.
Split a group into teams of similar sizes.
Make it yours
Quick EntryNames are securely shuffled into near-equal teams. Together/apart restrictions are enforced when supplied; constrained assignments are not uniformly sampled from all valid arrangements.
Team names, colors & restrictions Optional
Only used with “Balance Skill Ratings”. Unlisted people default to 1. This is an estimate-based heuristic, not a guarantee of equally skilled teams.
One pair per line. Restrictions must fit near-equal team sizes. If they conflict or the search limit is reached, no teams are returned.
Avatars, emojis & colors Optional
Pictures stay local. PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 250 KB each. Large setups can be shared as files.
Your draft is kept in this browser. Changing decision inputs starts fresh progress. Changing the mini-game preserves your result.

Frequently asked questions
Are skill-balanced teams guaranteed to be equal?
No. Skill balancing uses a heuristic and your ratings. Team sizes differ by at most one. Conflicting restrictions or a search limit produce an explanation instead of silently ignoring them.
Does the game change the odds?
No. The engine determines the outcome separately. Spinning, dragging, flipping, and racing reveal it. Replay preserves the result.
How large can my list be?
Up to 200 unique entries of 80 characters each. Duplicate labels merge ignoring letter case; give different people distinct labels. Some game visuals show a sample, while full results include every relevant entry.
