How to make two balanced soccer teams

Frequently asked questions
How do I create two evenly matched pickup soccer teams?
Add the players and choose a soccer skill level from 1 to 5 for each person. The generator balances the number of players and average team rating as closely as possible.
How should I rate soccer skills from 1 to 5?
Use the same scale for everyone: 1 for beginner level, 3 for average, and 5 for the strongest players in your group. Ratings are based on your group's own assessment.
What if there is an odd number of players?
One team will have one extra player. The generator then aims to keep the average player rating close between the two teams.
What rating does an unrated player get?
Players start at level 3, the middle of the scale. You can change any player's level before creating the teams.
