TeamChooser

Do you play friendly pickup sports, like hockey, soccer or basketball? Would you like help choosing which players to be on each team, so that everyone enjoys the game? Then TeamChooser is the app for you! TeamChooser will work for pretty much any two-team game you can think of: rugby scrimmages, volleyball, baseball, and flag football.

Competing apps just use random assignments. TeamChooser uses a specialized algorithm developed over six years of experimentation and revision.

Here’s how it works: enter the name of each player and give a rating for their level of effectiveness. At game time, you indicate who is there to play. Then, push a button and TeamChooser’s proprietary technology will divide the players into two perfectly-balanced teams. Everyone will have fun, not just the players on the winning team!

If you wish, you can balance the number of offense and defense players on each team, and you can pre-assign players to a specific team. If players show up after teams have been made, TeamChooser lets you freeze the assignments and add the new players to the teams. Also, you can manage any number of games, each with different players.

Have a great game!

Team Chooser is a great app!

I run a pick up mens hockey group, where each week, different players are present for the games. Picking even, fair teams has always been a challenge. With Team Chooser, I input the possible players, indicate if they are offense or defense (to ensure both teams have enough D) and then assign a numeric value to each player based on their impact on the game. (The app has great guidance on this critical part of the process) Then I create a game for that date, check off the players who will be playing and hit the pick teams button. Voila! Fair balanced teams are set. The app evens out the defense on both sides and we are good to go. There is a tweak button that swaps evenly ranked players as well. You can also pre assign a player or players (like the team captains) so they always end up on opposite sides, Its really slick. Plus the creators of the app are ready willing and able to offer support and assistance. I've been running this group for 30+ years and have used any number of technologies to try to make things work better and this app is the best by far! Check it out!
