Questions
- What if the number of people doesn't divide evenly?
- Teams are as even as possible: sizes differ by at most one person. With 9 people and 2 teams you get 5 and 4.
- Is the shuffle fair?
- Yes. Names are shuffled with an unbiased Fisher-Yates shuffle driven by the browser's cryptographic random generator.
- Can I keep two people together?
- Not in this version. Random means random; for constraints, reshuffle until you like the result or draw the teams manually.
