How It Works

Team Maker offers three methods for creating balanced teams:

Random

Creates teams by randomly distributing participants. Simple and quick, but may not consider skill balancing.

Categorical

Creates balanced teams by considering selected categories. Perfect for ensuring even distribution of skills or attributes.

Random with Categories

A hybrid approach that adds some randomness while still considering category balancing.

When using categorical methods, you can assign different weights to each category based on importance.

Upload Data
