Keep a plan that another facilitator can reproduce
The roster, seed and settings belong together.
A seed is a reproducibility label
The initial shuffle is deterministic: the same participant labels in the same order, the same seed and the same settings produce the same schedule. A new seed may change the starting arrangement, but is not a guarantee that every pair changes its round. The full set of pairs remains the same in a complete rotation.
This is a planning shuffle, not a cryptographically secure lottery or prize draw. It does not rank people, infer compatibility or enforce exclusions. Add a short distinguishing label when two participants share a name; ambiguous duplicate labels are rejected.
Read a personal itinerary
The person view lists each round's time, partner and station, or a scheduled pause. Compare it with the round view before distributing instructions. A participant should appear once in every planned round, either in a pair or in the pause slot. The structural report checks those counts and repeated pairs.
Pick the right file
JSON preserves the editable roster and settings. The text report is a complete round list. CSV contains one row per participant per round, including scheduled pauses. None sends invitations or automatically publishes participant labels. Review the files before sharing them.
No account or autosave is used. Closing or refreshing the tab discards unsaved work. Save JSON first. Undo keeps up to 30 saved states only in the current tab.
