Tips for Using the Team Generator Effectively

• Ensure Fairness with Equal Size: For most situations (classroom groups, sports), selecting the "Equal Size" option under Team Balance provides the most balanced distribution. The tool will create teams as close to the same size as possible.
• Consider Pre-Sorting for Skill Balance: If you're creating teams for competitive activities and know the relative skill levels, you *could* try listing participants alternating by skill (e.g., High, Low, High, Low...) before generating. While the generation is random, this *might* slightly increase the chance of mixed-skill teams.
• Capture Your Teams: Once generated, the teams appear on the right. Make sure to copy this list or take a screenshot, as the site doesn't permanently store generated teams unless you save the specific URL/Bookmark.
• Need a Different Mix? Regenerate!: Don't like the first set of teams? The beauty of randomness is you can simply click "Generate Teams" again for a completely new, unbiased distribution.
• Handling Large Groups: If you have hundreds of participants, consider generating teams in smaller batches if needed, or simply increase the number of teams to keep team sizes manageable.
