Balanced split

3 teams of 4 players

Team 2 (4 players)#2, #9, #3, #5
Team 3 (4 players)#7, #10, #12, #1

The shuffle is seeded, so the same inputs always produce the same teams. Change the seed for a new draw; player skill is not modelled.

How to shuffle teams

Enter the group and let the seeded draw deal the teams.

1

Enter the player count

Number the players 1 to N before the draw.

2

Choose the team count

Pick the number of teams; the sizes differ by at most one.

3

Share the seed

Keep the same seed to reproduce the teams, or change it for a fresh draw.

What does this tool do?

Random teams reduce the same-friends-every-time problem. This calculator shuffles numbered players with a seeded generator, deals them into balanced teams and prints the roster.

The Formula

Team size = floor(players ÷ teams), with the first (players mod teams) teams receiving one extra player

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the shuffle truly random?

It is a seeded pseudo-random shuffle: every ordering is equally likely and the result is reproducible. That makes the draw fair for a given seed and easy to re-check.

Can I keep teammates apart?

Not automatically. Swap players between the generated teams after the draw if you need to separate a pair.
