Frequently asked questions
How does balancing by skill level work?
Write the level after the name, such as 'John 5' or 'Anna *4'. The tool sorts by level and deals the players out in a zigzag between the teams, so the totals end up similar.
Can I paste the attendance list from WhatsApp?
Yes. Numbers, dashes and emojis at the start of each line are ignored. So are empty lines.
What about goalkeepers?
Mark them with (G) after the name, such as 'Peter (G)'. Goalkeepers are assigned first, one per team.
