Frequently Asked Questions

How do you split 20 people into 4 teams fairly?

To split 20 people into 4 teams, each team receives 5 players. TeamShuffle offers pure random division or skill-balanced allocation to distribute players without bias.

Can I balance player skill levels for 20 players?

Yes. Enabling 1 to 5 star ratings applies a snake-draft heuristic to balance cumulative squad ratings across all 4 teams while maintaining equal team sizes.

What does the #TS Serial Code verify?

Every shuffle generates a 4-digit reference code (e.g. #TS-8492). Anyone can enter this code at teamshuffle.win/verify to review the saved participant list and timestamp. Note: serial verification confirms the recorded session details from when the shuffle was run, rather than acting as an independent mathematical proof of player skill.
