Teams

The teams appear here.

How it works

  1. 1Type or paste the names, one per line. Commas work too, so a list copied from a spreadsheet or a group chat goes straight in.
  2. 2Set the number of teams.
  3. 3Choose Make teams. Do not like the draw? Shuffle again.

How the teams are made

The list is shuffled, then dealt out like cards: one name to each team in turn until the names run out. That keeps the teams as even as the numbers allow. 10 people into 3 teams gives 4, 3 and 3.

The shuffle uses your browser's random number generator. Nothing is sent to a server, and the list is kept only in this browser so a refresh does not lose it.

Then run the tournament

Put these teams in a bracket opens a single elimination bracket with the teams already in it. From there you can switch to double elimination or round robin, keep score and print.

For a blind-draw doubles event such as cornhole or pickleball, set the number of teams to half the number of players: each team is a pair, and the bracket shows both names.
