Teams
The teams appear here.
How it works
- 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.
- 2Set the number of teams.
- 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.
