Questions Team Shake users ask
- Can I make balanced teams by skill?
- Yes. Give each person a number for skill, and Deal makes teams with even totals. It shows how fair they are.
- Can I just make quick random teams?
- Yes. The team generator makes random teams from a list in seconds, with no sign-up.
- Do people need an app?
- No. Draftastic works in the browser. People join with a code and their name.
