TeamChooser

iOS Universel / Sports

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? TeamChooser will select the teams and make sure the game is fair. TeamChooser will work for pretty much any two-team game you can think of: rugby scrimmages, volleyball, baseball, and flag football.

TeamChooser uses a specialized algorithm developed over 16 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!

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Two important improvements: 1) you can now send/share the chosen teams, through a text file, by email or any app that accepts a text file. No more copying the names to send out!
2) You can share the games with other TeamChooser users by exporting a CSV (comma separated file) to them via email, and they can import it into team chooser. Also, you can use a spreadsheet editor to edit the CSV file and use it to discuss with others who don't run TeamChooser.

Also, there is now only one algorithm - the previously named 'super optimizer' is the only one available.
