What Random Team Maker does
Random Team Maker takes a list of participant names and splits them into a chosen number of teams, using either balanced distribution to keep group sizes as even as possible, or fully random distribution.
It is a quick way to organize teams for classes, sports sessions, workshops or events without manually sorting names by hand.

Balanced vs. random distribution
Balanced
Keeps team sizes as even as possible given the number of participants and teams.
Random
Shuffles participants completely without prioritizing equal team sizes.
When sizes can't be equal
If the participant count doesn't divide evenly, balanced mode minimizes the size difference between teams.
Good to know
Team sizes are equal only when the number of participants divides evenly by the number of teams; otherwise balanced mode keeps the difference as small as possible.
You can remake the same list of participants as many times as you like to get a different grouping.
