Split Methods
Number of Teams:
Specify how many teams you want. People are distributed as evenly as possible. If the division isn't perfect, some teams will have one extra person.
Example: 10 people into 3 teams = 4, 3, 3 people per team
Team Size:
Specify how many people per team. Creates as many full teams as possible. Any remaining people are shown separately.
Example: 10 people, 3 per team = 3 teams of 3, 1 remaining

Fairness Algorithm
The generator uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm to ensure completely random and unbiased team distribution. Every person has an equal chance of being on any team, making it perfect for fair team selection.
