Frequently asked questions
Can I lock certain people together?
Yes. Wrap them in parentheses on one line, like "(Alice, Bob)", and they'll always land in the same room.
Does it avoid repeating rooms?
Yes. Turn on "Avoid last round's pairs" in Options to reduce the chance the same people are grouped again.
Is the split random and balanced?
Yes. People are shuffled with the Web Crypto API for an unbiased draw, then distributed as evenly as possible across the rooms you ask for.
Is my roster uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole assignment runs in your browser and your roster is never sent to a server.
