How to customize this template
To customise your Random Pair Maker, rename teams or roles to fit your theme, pre-sort participants if balance matters, and remove full teams temporarily to keep sizes even. Always tailor the entries to the participants and context, and ensure the list reflects what you actually intend to decide. For example, in teams & groups contexts, you might add items that reflect current priorities or remove ones that no longer apply.
Fairness checklist
- Confirm the participant list or task list before spinning.
- Do not include unavailable teammates unless they can actually take the result.
- Remove names after selection if the goal is even participation.
- For recurring meetings, rotate or refresh entries so the wheel stays relevant.
