FAQ
Can I draw multiple winners at once?+
Yes — set 'Draw how many' to pick several unique names in one go.
Does 'Remove after drawing' persist?+
It only affects your current session. Closing the tab resets everything.
How do you balance team sizes?+
We shuffle and round-robin the names across teams, so sizes differ by at most one.
Where do the team names come from?+
They're generated from curated adjective+animal combinations like 'Thunder Dragons' or 'Swift Foxes'.
Can I shuffle the teams again?+
Hit reshuffle to get a fresh allocation with different team names and colors.
