The Split
Set it, shuffle itWhat Makes A Split Fair
How it worksA split feels fair when nobody can predict it.
Every order equally likely
The shuffle is Fisher–Yates, which gives each possible arrangement the same chance. Sorting by name and dealing does not.
n! orders, equal odds
Remainders go to the front
Seven people into three teams gives 3, 2, 2. The extra seats fill from the first team, which is why sizes differ by at most one.
7 ÷ 3 = 3, 2, 2
Re-rolling is where fairness leaks
Shuffling until you like the outcome is choosing, not drawing. Decide beforehand how many rolls you get.
Agree the roll count first
Nothing is recorded
The names stay in the page. Reloading loses them, which is the point — there is no list of who was on which team.
Reload = gone
Questions
03Can I separate specific people?
Not yet. The split is a plain random draw with no constraints — shuffle again if two names land together.
How are uneven numbers handled?
Extra members fill the earlier teams first, so no two teams differ by more than one person.
Are the names saved anywhere?
No. They live only in this page and disappear on reload.
