How are teams balanced?

Names are shuffled randomly (Fisher–Yates), then distributed round-robin into teams so team sizes differ by at most one. With 11 names and 4 teams you get sizes 3, 3, 3, 2.

Is the randomness truly random?

Yes — we use crypto.getRandomValues from the Web Crypto API, not Math.random. Each shuffle is independent and unpredictable.

Can I split by team size instead of team count?

Yes — switch the mode. If names don't divide evenly, the last team is smaller.
