Team Picker Wheel - Randomize a List of Names into Group

1. What Is Team Picker Wheel?

Team Picker Wheel is a random team generator developed by Picker Wheel team. It helps you to split a list of names into teams or groups. It is also known as a random group generator or can be used as a random partner generator.

By inserting the list of names into the team generator, the team generator will randomize all the names you entered into equal groups. You can set the number of groups or the number of people/group you want to create, generating equally into random groups.

There is another unique feature from this tool where you can choose to balance the gender of participants equally into groups, in the condition you have set the gender of each participant after filling in the names.

Besides, you don't need to download the groupings result manually. You can save the group's result as an image or download the group's result in a CSV file for further use.

2. How to Use the Random Team Generator?

1. Insert participants' names (Two methods available).

   • Insert one by one.

   • Insert a list of names (one name/line) by clicking the view/import inputs button. Import by uploading an .csv excel file is also available.

2. Choose distribute equally based on what kind of characteristic. You can choose Default, Gender or self-defined Label.

   • Default - Just distribute equally the list of people into the groups without considering anything else.

   • Gender - Distribute the same number of genders from the list of people into the groups.

   • Label - Distribute the same number of labels from the list of people into the groups.

   

3. [In Condition] If you choose the Gender or Label mode, you can choose whether to show gender or label icon before their names when the result is replayed.

4. [In Condition] If you choose the Default mode, you can also decide how many people are chosen from the given list. The selection is totally random.

5. Insert the number of groups to be produced. OR, fill in the maximum number of people/group wanted. (By filling either of these fields, the system will automatically fill in another field for you based on your current name lists.)
