How do pickup organizers randomize teams?

Split checked-in players into Dark Team and Light Team for pickup games.

Randomize Teams helps pickup organizers quickly split checked-in players into two sides. It is useful when players arrive close to game time and you want a fast starting point for Dark and Light teams.

πŸ‘‘ This feature requires BenchApp PRO. You can still move players manually after BenchApp creates the teams.

Step 1: Open the pickup event

  1. Go to Schedule.

  2. Open the pickup, drop-in, or scrimmage event.

Step 2: Open Lines

  1. Click or tap Lines.

  2. BenchApp opens the lineup editor for that event.

Step 3: Randomize the teams

  1. Open the lineup menu.

  2. Choose Randomize Teams.

  3. Review the Dark Team and Light Team that BenchApp creates.

Step 4: Make any manual changes

After the teams are randomized, move players if you need to balance skill, positions, goalies, or players who need to be on opposite sides.

Step 5: Save or reuse the setup

For recurring pickup games, you can use Copy Previous Lines on a future event if you want to start from a setup you already liked.
