✦ A quick word before your ride
This game night team picker starts with a ten-player roster and skill ratings, then splits everyone into two fair teams using browser cryptography. Skill balancing keeps the totals close, and every shuffle records the roster, settings, random bytes and SHA-256 digest, so nobody can claim the teams were stacked.
✦ The team tent · fair sides, every time
Random team picker
Paste names, choose how many teams or how many people per team, and split the crowd with browser cryptography. Add captains, keep friends together or rivals apart, and balance by skill when you need even matchups. Every split is saved with a SHA-256 proof.
Gather the players
One person per line. Add an optional skill after “|”, for example: Avery | 4
✦ Proof booth
Fairness & entropy audit
Each proof commits the entries, weights, random bytes, result, timestamp, nonce, and previous proof digest. Recomputing SHA-256 detects later changes; it does not prove that a dishonest host committed the inputs before drawing.

Frequently asked questions
What does the number after a name mean?
It is an optional skill rating. With skill balancing on, teams are evened out by their total skill.
Will this replace the list I saved?
Yes. Opening a preset loads its roster into the team picker on this browser; edit it freely afterwards.
