Fair Team Maker
Rate each player's skill from 1 to 5 stars, then split everyone into two teams that are as evenly matched as possible. A balance meter shows the split at a glance, so nobody can claim the draft was rigged. Works offline.

How to play
- Type each player's name on its own line in the roster box.
- Tap the stars next to each name to rate their skill from 1 (learning) to 5 (strongest).
- Tap Make Teams to generate two skill-balanced sides with a balance meter.
- Tap Reshuffle Teams for a new random split, or Edit Roster to change names and ratings.
Fair Team Maker replaces the awkward schoolyard draft with a balance you can see. List every player, then tap 1 to 5 stars to rate how strong each one is at the game you're about to play. The tool searches hundreds of random team splits and keeps the one with the smallest gap in total skill points between the two sides, while also keeping the number of players on each team within one of each other. A balance meter shows exactly how close the split is, so there's a visible reason nobody got stacked onto the weaker team. If the first split doesn't feel right, Reshuffle Teams tries again with a fresh random search. Skill ratings and names stay in the browser tab only — nothing is uploaded, saved, or shared, so it works the same at a birthday party as it does on a field with no signal.
Frequently asked questions
- How does it decide who goes on which team?
- It tries hundreds of random orderings, assigning each player to whichever team currently has fewer total skill points, and keeps the split with the smallest gap between the two totals.
- Will the teams always be the same size?
- Team sizes are always kept within one player of each other, so with an odd number of players one team simply has one more person than the other.
- Can I change a player's skill rating after teams are made?
- Yes. Tap Edit Roster to go back, adjust any star rating or the player list, and tap Make Teams again for a fresh balanced split.
