We Want to Hear Your Feedback 1. What Is Team Picker Wheel? Team Picker Wheel is a random team generator from the main Picker Wheel , designed to split a list of names into random teams, groups, or pairs. 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 pair generator. By getting 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. It has two grouping methods. The first is Host Grouping, where the host fills in all participant names, configures the grouping settings, and then generates the groups. The second method is Self-Join Grouping. In this mode, the host predefines the grouping settings, such as the number of participants, number of groups, or number of people per group, and then generates a Join Link. Participants can open the link, spin the wheel, and receive a random group assignment. Another unique feature of this tool is the ability to balance participants equally across groups based on gender or specific labels (for example, grades). This works when the host has assigned a gender or label to each participant after entering their names, or when the total number of male and female participants is known in Self-Join Grouping mode. Besides, you don't need to download the groupings result manually from this group randomizer. 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? 2.1.
