Frequently asked questions

Is the draw fair?

Yes. It uses the browser’s cryptographic random generator and an unbiased shuffle, so every name has the same chance.

What happens with repeated names?

By default repeats are ignored so nobody gets an advantage. You can turn that option off if you want them counted separately.

Are the teams balanced?

Yes. The split is even: team sizes differ by at most one person.

Can I draw several winners at once?

Yes, set how many you want and they will all be different. With the remove-picked option, you can repeat the draw with whoever is left.
