Advanced Balancing by Skill and Role
Unlike simple shufflers, our system accounts for each player's skill level. By assigning a star rating (1-5), our algorithm ensures the total skill is distributed evenly across all teams. This creates a fair experience where no team becomes overwhelmingly strong.
Additionally, our role feature lets you specify positions (for example: Goalkeeper, Captain, Support, Tank). The system intelligently distributes these specific roles so each team has the necessary composition. This makes it ideal for complex sports and strategy games.
How Does the Team Generator Work?
The Team Generator is a free, easy-to-use tool to organize your teams. It was built to simplify splitting groups for any activity — whether a casual soccer match, a volleyball game, school activities, or corporate team building — providing a fair and balanced distribution.
Just enter the list of names, set the skill level androle (optional), and click "Generate". Our smart algorithm balances technical ability and numbers to ensure fair, competitive matches. It's the ideal tool for convenience and fairness.
Why Use Our Team Generator?
- No Favoritism
A random, balanced team draw removes complaints about unfair or biased selections.
- Technical Balance
The star-based system keeps team strength comparable, ensuring more competitive and exciting matches.
- Fast and Practical
Stop wasting time debating teams. In seconds you can generate teams and start playing.
- Total Versatility
Ideal for sports (soccer, volleyball, beach tennis), online games, school events, and corporate team activities.
Understand Team Generation Modes
By Teams
Ideal when you have a fixed number of teams (e.g. a 4-team tournament). The system takes all participants and divides them equally. Any leftover players are distributed to maintain numeric balance.
By Players
Perfect when you want each team to have a specific size (e.g. teams of 5 for futsal). The system will calculate how many teams are needed to accommodate all players while respecting that limit.
Our Balancing Algorithm
Unlike a simple random draw (like drawing names from a hat), our system uses a weighted distribution algorithm with support for specific roles.
- Step 1 (Grouping): The system identifies players with the same role (e.g. all Goalkeepers, all Centers) to ensure they are placed on different teams.
- Step 2 (Sorting): Within each group (and among players without a role), participants are ordered by skill level (stars).
- Step 3 (Distribution): The algorithm places role players first, ensuring each team receives, if possible, a specialist of each type.
- Step 4 (Balancing): Finally, remaining players are allocated aiming to keep average strength and player counts equal across teams.
Tips for a Perfect Draw
Be Realistic with Ratings
For the algorithm to work well, avoid giving everyone 5 stars. Try using the full scale (1 to 5) to differentiate players' true levels.
Define Specific Positions
Use the "Position/Role" field to mark Goalkeepers, Captains, Centers, or any important role. The system will separate these players automatically so they don't all end up on the same team.
Use the Copy Feature
After generating teams, use the "Copy All" button to quickly share the list on WhatsApp or Discord while keeping the formatting neat.
Practical Use Cases
⚽ Soccer and Futsal
Organize your weekly pickup game without the hassle. Separate goalkeepers using the position feature, rate players from 1 to 5 stars, and let the generator balance the teams. Put an end to cliques and complaints about unbalanced teams.
🎮 Online Games (E-sports)
Playing a custom 5v5 in CS2, Valorant, League of Legends, or Overwatch? Use the generator to create balanced lobbies based on each friend's rank, ensuring competitive matches from start to finish.
🏫 Schools and Education
PE teachers or classroom instructors can use the tool to create work groups or mixed teams, ensuring students with different profiles interact and collaborate, fostering integration.
🏐 Volleyball and Beach Tennis
For doubles, trios, or quartets, the "By Players" mode is ideal. Set the exact team size (e.g. 2 for doubles) and the system will place all participants onto courts automatically.
