Group draws decide seasons — and accusations of a rigged draw follow every opaque one. This preset preloads sixteen world-famous clubs, so you set the group size and generate: balanced groups, drawn live with cryptographic randomness, ready to screenshot and share.

Step-by-step for the draw

  1. Choose how many groups (or group size) — four groups of four mirrors a World Cup.
  2. Generate and watch the groups form; every club had an identical chance of landing anywhere.
  3. Export the groups and share them in the group chat as the official record.
  4. Re-run only if everyone agrees the draw conditions changed.

Why the grouping is fair

Manual seeding quietly advantages whoever orders the list. Generation shuffles with the browser’s Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), so pot position and group placement carry no bias. The draw runs client-side — there is no server log to second-guess.

Customizing the list

  • Replace the clubs with your league’s teams for a season pool.
  • Shrink to eight clubs for a small office sweepstake.
  • Add national teams before a World Cup draw.
  • For a full knockout bracket instead of groups, use the champions cup.

Practical tips

  • Announce group size and rules before generating.
  • Keep the export as the season record for disputes.
  • Screen-record the generation for works councils or leagues.
  • To assign the same clubs to people instead, spin the quiniela wheel.
