How does the team generator split the names?

It shuffles the list at random and deals the names out one at a time, like cards, so the teams differ in size by one person at most.

Can I make teams of a set size?

Choose the number of teams that gives the size you want. Twelve names in four teams gives teams of three.

Are the names stored?

No. The shuffle runs in your browser and the names are not sent to party.net.

How do I pick who goes first?

Press Pick one name. The tool chooses a single name from your list at random.
