Apply one list
Each non-empty line is an individual entry. Two people with the same name are not silently merged.

HOW GROUPING WORKS
Divide the list.
Not the attention.
No accounts, skills database or student profiles. Just the entries you choose to put in this tab.
Choose a team count
Ten entries in three teams produce headcounts of four, three and three. A random team receives the extra entry; no team is empty.
Name and share
Rename a team and copy its members, or copy all teams. Generating again may occasionally produce the same arrangement; there are no hidden retries.
Balanced size does not mean balanced ability
This tool shuffles entries. It does not use gender, role, experience or skill to choose membership. Do not use the result as evidence that teams are balanced by those attributes.
Picking one entry instead?
Use the random name picker and wheel spinner to choose one entry at a time. Read the random rules and limitations before organizing a draw.
A few useful answers
How are leftover entries distributed?
If 10 entries are divided into 3 teams, one team has 4 entries and two teams have 3. Which team gets the extra entry is randomized. Every entry appears exactly once, and no team is empty.
Does balanced team size mean balanced skills?
No. Group membership is random. The generator does not assess ability, gender, role, experience, accessibility needs or personal relationships. Any such requirements need a separate process.
Can I specify a maximum number of people per team?
This version accepts a number of teams, not an exact or maximum team size. Check the headcount preview before generating. It does not support locked members, constraints or weighted grouping.
What happens when I reshuffle or change the team count?
Reshuffling with the same team count keeps your edited team names and creates a new membership arrangement. Generating a different number of teams resets team names. A random result can occasionally repeat; the tool does not secretly retry it.
Will my name-picker list appear here automatically?
No. Use the explicit transfer control in the other tool and confirm the incoming list here. Plain navigation does not copy your list, and names are not placed in a URL.
