Random pickWho is next?
Give the next turn to chance.
Add the players at your table and draw a name. Use the no-repeat option when everyone should get a turn before someone is picked again, or allow repeats for independent random draws. Enter names exactly as people want to be called and decide whether the same person may return before drawing. With no-repeat enabled, announce each result and remove that name from the pool; reset only after everyone has had a turn.
Decide whether previous winners should stay eligible before the first draw.

Good to know
Does each eligible player have an equal chance?
Yes. Each draw selects uniformly from the names currently in the pool, using the browser's random generator.
Can I change the list after drawing?
Yes. Editing the list clears the previous result and draw history so the next draw uses the new list.
What happens when no-repeat reaches an empty pool?
The tool stops selecting until you reset the pool. That makes it suitable for giving every player one turn before anyone is chosen again.
How should I handle duplicate names?
Add an initial or a short label before drawing. Duplicate entries are combined, so two people with the same visible name need a distinguishing detail.
Can I use it to choose teams?
Use one draw per person and record the results yourself, or treat the order as the team draft order. The picker does not build balanced teams automatically.
