Read full description

A simple, but effective way of dividing up teams based on skill rating. Features: - Keep track of people and their skill ratings in various groups like rec leagues, sport teams, gym classes, and much more! - Auto generate as many teams as you'd like! - Teams are always generated randomly but fairly, so you'll never have one team stacked up with all the good players. - A member can have others paired with them so they'll always be on the same team regardless of rating. - If two members don't work well together you can also exclude them so they'll never be on the same team. - Many more features coming soon!
