Define teams before assignment
Replace the samples with the actual team, table, station, or project labels used by the group. Keep names easy to distinguish when announced.
Team Picker Wheel
Click anywhere on the wheel or press Ctrl+Enter to spin!
Assign a person, task, or group to one of several team labels with a visible random spin.
How the Team Picker Wheel works
The Team Picker Wheel selects one team label at a time. It can assign a participant or choose a team order, but it does not track roster size, skill level, roles, or balanced composition.
Track capacity separately
Remove a team label when it reaches capacity, or use an external roster. The wheel does not know how many people have already joined each team.
Balance sensitive groups manually
Random assignment may not produce fair skill, access, safeguarding, or accommodation outcomes. Review the final teams when those factors matter.
Practical ways to use the Team Picker Wheel
Teachers, coaches, facilitators, and project leads can use the draw when team labels are already defined and a visible random assignment is appropriate.
Assign one participant
Spin a team label for each person and temporarily remove teams as they reach the intended size.
Choose presentation order
Use the wheel to decide which existing group presents, starts, or selects a task first.
Run station rotations
Replace team labels with room areas or activities and spin the next station for a group.
Set up the Team Picker Wheel
Decide whether you are assigning people, selecting an existing team, or choosing a station. Each purpose needs a different entry list and capacity rule.
1. Enter the real team labels
Use the exact names visible on rosters, tables, or stations. Remove labels that are unavailable for the current round.
2. Set a capacity method
Choose equal target sizes and track assignments externally. Remove or hide a team as soon as it reaches its limit.
3. Review the final grouping
Check that access needs, safeguarding rules, required roles, and any skill-balancing requirements are still satisfied.
Team Picker Wheel FAQ
Answers about team capacity, balance, participant assignment, and station rotation.
Does this automatically balance team sizes?+
No. The wheel selects one label at a time and does not track capacity. Record assignments separately and remove a team label when that team reaches its limit.
Can the wheel balance teams by skill or role?+
No. Random labels do not account for experience, required positions, accessibility, or interpersonal constraints. Review and adjust the final grouping when balanced composition matters.
How are results selected on the Team Picker Wheel?+
The browser chooses one visible entry with the Web Crypto API before the animation begins. Every visible slice has the same probability. Repeating a label creates another slice, so remove accidental duplicates when each label should have one chance.
How can I save changes to the Team Picker Wheel?+
Changes save automatically in local browser storage on this device. Use the export control to create a versioned .wheel file when you need a separate backup or want to move the setup to another browser. The site does not use accounts or cloud synchronization.
