\u201cShake-em Up\u201d button or shake your phone up and down. \u00a0To create simple teams, that\u2019s it! \u00a0Your team will be created. \u00a0 Note, that you can disable the shaking function of the Main Screen by disabling the \u201cInitial Shake\u201d option. \u00a0If you are just looking for the very basic using of Team Shake, you can move on to the\u00a0<a href=\"#using_teams\">Using Teams<\/a>\u00a0section of this help. \u00a0If you are interested in learning about more advanced functionality such as saving and loading lists of players, continue reading this section.<\/li>\n<li>Press here to pick a random user from the list. \u00a0The user will only be chosen from those players who are not absent.<\/li>\n<li>You can press the action button on the bottom right of the screen to do additional functions. \u00a0These functions are:\n<ol>\n<li>\u201cPick a Random Player\u201d \u2013 This will choose one random player and display him on the screen. \u00a0This can be used if you don\u2019t want to create any teams, but you just want to pick players randomly.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cToggle Video Out\u201d \u00a0\u2013 If you iPhone \/ iPad is connected

list.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSave List Changes\u201d \u2013 This will save any changes to your current list so that if you load a new list, your changes will not be lost. \u00a0Note, that Team Shake always keeps track of your current changes in a temporary list that is automatically saved. \u00a0Therefore, stopping Team Shake, or even rebooting your phone, will not result in any changes being lost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Press the \u201cHelp\u201d icon to access our online help (this page you are reading!) at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>At this point, you should have learned enough to make basic teams and to save and load lists of players. \u00a0Next, we will go over the details of some of the more advanced Team Shake functions for creating balanced teams and applying special rules for groups players. \u00a0To do this, first we need to understand how Team Shake picks team. \u00a0In Team Shake\u2019s default configuration, it will create truly random teams from the players that you add into your list. \u00a0This works really well for many situations, but sometimes you many want additional control over how teams are created. \u00a0 To do this Team Shake offers a number of options. \u00a0First, we will discuss the options that can be set on a per user basis that will impact how teams are chosen. \u00a0 Next, we will discuss some configuration options that can be used to change the way teams are picked overall. \u00a0However, its important to note that the per user options can be used together with the team selection options to offer extremely flexible team sections.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rhine-o.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TeamShakeHelp_MainScreen2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

\/><\/a><br>\nThese per user options include subteams, oppose teams, user strengths. \u00a0We will refer to the diagram above for a description of these options.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>(Subteam\/Oppose team \u2013 #1) \u2013\u00a0<\/b>The numbers in the green circles identify a users\u2019s subteam. \u00a0The number in the red circles identify a user\u2019s oppose team. \u00a0Subteam and oppose teams are used to force people to always be on the same team or to never be on the same team. \u00a0If two or more players have the subteam number, they will be forced to be on the same team, if that is possible. \u00a0 Similarly, if two ore more players have the same oppose team number, they will not be allowed to be on the same team. \u00a0One possible use of subteams is to assign friends to the same team. \u00a0Oppose team can be very useful to separate two students that don\u2019t get along. \u00a0Its also important to note that we said these numbers will be used \u201cif possible\u201d. \u00a0There are some circumstances in which subteam or oppose team number cannot be honored. \u00a0For example, if the team size is only 4 players, but you put 5 people in a subteam, it will not be possible to create a team with all 5 players. \u00a0In a similar fashion, if you put 5 players on the same oppose team, but only 4 teams were created, two people from the same oppose team would be forced to be on the same team. \u00a0Team Shake will display a warning if it is unable to honor the subteam or oppose team numbers.<\/li>\n<li><b>(User Strengths \u2013 #2)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 The little arrows to the left of a player\u2019s name indicate their strength. \u00a0Strength can be assigned on a per user basis as weakest (downward green arrow), weak (downward blue arrow), normal (no arrow), strong (upward black arrow), or strongest (upward red arrow). \u00a0 The display of these arrows can be turned on or off by toggling the \u201cShow player strength\u201d option. \u00a0This option is available because we understand that you may not want players to see what \u201cstrength\u201d value you have assigned to them if you are showing them Team Shake. \u00a0 In order for strengths to be used during team selection, the \u201cBalance Team Strengths\u201d option must be enabled (this is the default). \u00a0 When you assign strengths to players, this will change the way teams are selected. \u00a0Team Shake will still be as random as possible. \u00a0However, it will now try to create more balanced teams by distributing the stronger and weaker players more evenly across the teams. \u00a0 One important thing to note, is that (by default) Team Shake assumes that having additional people on a team is an advantage, and that having less people is a disadvantage. \u00a0Therefore, if you have one small team, and only one \u201cstrongest\u201d player, he would almost always end up on the small team. \u00a0Similarly, \u201cweakest\u201d or \u201cweak\u201d players are more likely to end up on a large team. \u00a0When picking teams for some games, this may not be the desired behavior. \u00a0For example, if you have a game where there are only 4 players and with a 5 person team, there would alway be one person sitting out and waiting his turn, you could enable the \u201cBalance alternates\u201d option. \u00a0This option balances the teams based on the average user strength of the team, rather than the combined strengths of the team.<\/li>\n<li><b>(Gender)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 This option is not shown explicitly in the above diagram. \u00a0However, each user can be assigned a gender. \u00a0Players that do not have a gender assigned will be displayed in green text (as in the diagram). \u00a0 Male players will be displayed in blue text, and female will be displayed in pink text. \u00a0Note that the display of the colors can be toggled by setting the \u201cShow gender color\u201d option. \u00a0By default in Team Shake, setting a player\u2019s gender will have no impact on Team Selection. \u00a0However, there are two configuration options that will change the way gender is using in creating teams. \u00a0If the \u00a0\u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d option is enabled, Team Shake will attempt to create teams where each team has the same number of male players as every other team (and also the same number of female players as every other team). \u00a0For example, if you have 12 boys and 8 girls in a class, and you make 4 teams., each team will have 3 boys and 2 girls. \u00a0The other configuration option that can be enabled is \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d. \u00a0 \u00a0This option will create separate teams of males and females. \u00a0 \u00a0For example, if you had 15 boys and 10 girls, and you make 5 teams, you will have 3 teams with 5 boys and 2 teams with 5 girls. \u00a0Note, that it does not make sense to enable both of these options at the same time. \u00a0If you do enable them both, then \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d will be ignored, and the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d team selection method will be used.<\/li>\n<li><b>(Advanced Team Selection)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 There are some additional configuration options that can be used to change the way that Team Shake picks teams.\n<ul>\n<li>The\u00a0<b>\u201cEqual Ability Teams<\/b>\u201d options allows you to create teams where each team is made up of players with similar strength. \u00a0For example, suppose you had 30 players 10 of which were \u201cstrong\u201d, 10 of which were \u201cnormal\u201d, and 10 of which were \u201cweak\u201d. \u00a0If you chose to make 6 teams, you first 2 teams would be made up of just \u201cstrong\u201d players, the second 2 teams would be made up of just \u201cnormal\u201d players, and the last 2 teams would be made up of \u00a0\u201cweak\u201d players. \u00a0If the players did not dived evenly into the teams, some teams might have been \u201cstrong\u201d and \u201cnormal\u201d players, and other teams might have \u201cnormal\u201d and \u201cweak\u201d players, but no teams would have both \u201cstrong\u201d and \u201cweak\u201d players. \u00a0 This method of team selection is useful when the players in the team will be playing against themselves rather than another team.<\/li>\n<li>There are 3 remaining options that impact the way teams are selection \u201cLarger uneven teams\u201d, \u201cLarger Groups First\u201d, and \u201cSubteam 1 in Team 1\u201d. \u00a0These make minor changes to the way teams are picked:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Larger uneven team\u00a0<\/b>\u2013\u00a0If enabled in the case of an uneven number of players some teams will have more players than requested. \u00a0If disabled, some teams may have less players than requested. \u00a0This option has no impact if the players can be divided evenly into the requested team size.<\/li>\n<li><b>Larger Groups First<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u2013\u00a0If enabled, in the case of uneven teams, the larger teams will be listed first. \u00a0If disabled, the smaller teams will be listed first.<\/li>\n<li><b>Subteam 1 in Team 1<\/b>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0If enabled, all the members of subteam 1 will always appear in team 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>(Absent \/ Present #3)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 The red \u201cno\u201d circle on the right of each user\u2019s name can be used to toggle a player between \u201cAbsent\u201d and \u201cPresent\u201d. \u00a0Users that are \u201cAbsent\u201d will not be placed into any teams. \u00a0 Both the text of the player\u2019s name and the \u201cno\u201d circle will change color to grey to indicate an \u201cAbsent\u201d user.<\/li>\n<li><b>(User Details #4)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 By pressing on the user\u2019s name or any empty space in the row, a \u201cUser Details\u201d screen will be displayed where the user\u2019s name, absent \/ present state, gender, strength, subteam, and oppose team can be set.<\/li>\n<li><b>(Number of Players indicators #5)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 These two numbers in the bottom bar on the screen, give you an easy indication of how many players total are in your list (the right number), and how many users are currently present (the left number)<\/li>\n<li><b>(Players per Teams \/ Number of Teams Toggle #6)<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press this button to toggle between choosing the number of players that will be in each team and the number of total teams that will be created.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Random Player<\/h3>\n<p>Before we go on to talk about how you use the teams that you can create, we wanted to show just a little

over how to setup some of the more common team selection scenarios for which people use Team Shake and how to setup these scenarios. \u00a0Most of these scenarios have been mentioned throughout this guide, but they have been placed here in one place to make them easy to find, and the details are stated more explicitly.<br>\nBelow, we have a table the summarizes the Configuration Options that are used in the various team selection scenarios. \u00a0The cells in red are the ones that must be changed from the default for each scenarios. \u00a0Note that in general it is possible to mix together multiple scenarios, but the are some cases in which options are not compatible. \u00a0In some cases mixing the scenarios would not make sense (e.g., \u201cCreating teams with an even number of males and females\u201d and \u201cCreating female only and male only teams\u201d). \u00a0 Also, there are some limited cases, where Team Shake does not support the combination (e.g., \u201cCreating teams with an even number of males and females\u201d and \u201cCreating groups with equality ability\u201d).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Team Selection Configuration Options

\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>Blue<\/b><\/span>\u00a0indicates an option that can be set either on or off to adjust the scenario. \u00a0Black represent the default value of an option.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"balanced_team_strengths\">Teams Balanced by Player Strength (\u201cFair Teams\u201d)<\/h3>\n<p>In order to create teams that are balanced rather than just random, you man make sure that you have the configuration options set appropriately (\u201cBalanced Team Strengths\u201d enabled and all other team selection options disabled, see the above table for details). \u00a0In the default configuration of Team Shake, the Configuration Options will be set correctly for this scenario. \u00a0So you only need to adjust the configuration options if you have previously changed them. \u00a0Once the configuration options are set correctly, it is only necessary to set each user\u2019s strength. \u00a0Details on setting user strength can be found in the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section of this guide. \u00a0The table above shows that all other team selection options must be disabled in this scenario. \u00a0In reality, you can adjust most of the other options, but then you will no longer have truly \u201cfair teams\u201d. \u00a0 3 of the other scenarios in the section can be used in conjunction with the \u201cBalanced Team Strength\u201d options to create balanced teams but with some additional restrictions on the balancing.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"balanced_subteams_opposeteams\">Keeping Players on the same team and Separating players between teams (\u201cBuddies\u201d and \u201cEnemies\u201d)<\/h3>\n<p>One \u00a0advanced \u00a0scenario that Team \u00a0Shake supports is the ability to force certain players to be on the same team, and to force other players to be on different teams. \u00a0This is very useful for certain situations. \u00a0 For example, this has been used by customers to \u00a0create golf foursomes where a member has brought a friend, and they want to play together. \u00a0Also this has also been used in PE (gym class) when some students don\u2019t get along, so that the students won\u2019t be placed on the same team. \u00a0To force players to be on the same team, you set the players to have the same subteam number. \u00a0To force \u00a0players to be on different teams, you set the players to have the same oppose team number. \u00a0Details on setting subteam and oppose team numbers can be found in the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section of this guide. \u00a0Each player can have a one subteam number and one oppose team number, so its possible to force a player to always be with another player, and at the same time also force that player to be on a separate team from another player. \u00a0However, watch out when setting many subteam and oppose team numbers that you don\u2019t create an impossible situation that can\u2019t be met. \u00a0If not all the subteam and oppose team numbers cannot be met, Team Shake will display a warning and attempt to meet as many as possible.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"balanced_male_female\">Creating teams with an even number of males and females (\u201cFair boy \/ girl teams\u201d)<\/h3>\n<p>To create teams with an even number of males and females, you need to enable the \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d option. \u00a0All other team selection options should be disabled (see the table at the beginning of this section for the detailed options). \u00a0Team Shake does not support creating teams of balanced strength at the same time as creating teams with an even number of males and females. \u00a0Once the configuration options has been set, you need to set the gender of each team. \u00a0See the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section of this guide for details on setting a player\u2019s gender.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"separate_male_female\">Creating female only and male only teams<\/h3>\n<p>To create female only and male only teams, you need to enable the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d options. \u00a0This can not be used with the \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d option, but it can be used with any other team selection option. \u00a0Once the configuration options has been set, you need to set the gender of each team. \u00a0See the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section for details on setting a player\u2019s gender. \u00a0When using the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d option, the males and females are separated first, so all options will be applied separately to males and females. \u00a0For example, if 2 males and 2 females have a subteam number of 1, the 2 males will be on the same team, and the 2 females will be together on a separate team. \u00a0However, the 4 players will not all be on the same team. \u00a0In the same way, if you use the \u201cBalance Teams\u201d options in conjunction with \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d, the male teams will all be created with equal strength and the female teams will be created with equal strength, but there is no guarantee that the female will have the some strength as the male teams.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"balanced_equal_ability_teams\">Creating groups with equality ability (When the group members play amongst themselves)<\/h3>\n<p>To create groups of equal ability, you need to enable the \u201cEqual Ability Teams\u201d option (see the table at the beginning of this section for the detailed options). \u00a0All other team selections options should be disabled except for the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d option which can be used with \u201cEqual Ability Teams\u201d if desired (see Creating female only and male only teams). \u00a0Note that we said we are creating \u201cgroups\u201d not \u201cteams\u201d in this case. \u00a0We used this terminology to point out that in this case, Team Shake is creating groups that would compete with itself rather than against other groups (or it could be groups that are cooperating with itself). \u00a0One possible example usage is to make basketball teams for gym class where the best players play against each other, the normal players player play against each other, and the weak players against each other. \u00a0Another possible usage is for reading groups in school where you want to group the strongest readers together, normal together, etc. \u00a0Once the configuration options are set correctly, it is only necessary to set each user\u2019s strength. \u00a0Details on setting user strength can be found in the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section of this guide.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"balance_alternates\">Creating balanced teams with alternates<\/h3>\n<p>One variation of the normal balanced teams scenario is the case where you have an uneven number of players on a team and all players to not play at the same time, but rather the \u201cextra\u201d player substitutes in the throughout the game. \u00a0In this case, have an extra player is not really an advantage, so the teams are balanced based on the average player strength instead of the total player strength. \u00a0The \u201cBalance Alternates\u201d and \u201cBalance Team Strengths\u201d options should be enable in this scenario (see the table at the beginning of this section for the detailed options). \u00a0Once the configuration options are set correctly, it is only necessary to set each user\u2019s strength. \u00a0Details on setting user strength can be found in the\u00a0<a href=\"#getting_started\">Getting Started with Team Shake<\/a>\u00a0section of this guide.<\/p>\n<h2

\u00a0In that case, we offer support to import lists of names in a variety of ways. \u00a0You will need to take your typed up list of players and put it in the correct format, but first let\u2019s just discuss how to get to the \u201cImport List Screen\u201d. \u00a0There are several ways to do that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can simply open the \u201cImport List\u201d screen by pressing the \u201cManage Lists\u201d button on the Main Screen, and then press \u201cImport List\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Email yourself a \u201ctxt\u201d or \u201ccsv\u201d file in the correct format. \u00a0Then

save the list to your saved lists. \u00a0You will be returned to the Main Screen where you can continue to use the list you are currently editing, or you could load the list that was just

import later.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s get into some more detail on the format of lists of users. \u00a0There is really one format that is used for importing lists, but for the purpose of this explanation, we will treat it as 2 separate formats. \u00a0Let\u2019s call these the \u201csimple\u201d format and the \u201ccomplex\u201d format.<br>\nThe simple format consists of a text file with a single user\u2019s name on each line. \u00a0The names must NOT have a comma in them. \u00a0If you use a comma in a name, only the part of the name before the comma will be added. \u00a0You can create such a file using an application like Microsoft Word, Notepad, Wordpad, Libreoffice \/ Openoffice Writer, or any number of programs . \u00a0 However, you when you save the file you must save the file as \u201cPlain Text\u201d. \u00a0 Here is an example of creating such a file in Microsoft Word and saving it as \u201cPlain Text\u201d. \u00a0 Note, you should accept the default \u201cFile Conversion\u201d options chosen by Word after you press save. \u00a0<a href=\"\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ExampleImportSimple.txt\">Click here to download the example text file<\/a>.<br>\n<a

format consists of a comma separated list of 6 parameters for each player, one list per line. \u00a0The parameters are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Name,<\/li>\n<li>Strength (-2 to 2)<\/li>\n<li>Subteam (0-64)<\/li>\n<li>Oppose team (0-64)<\/li>\n<li>Absent (0 \u2013 Present or 1 \u2013 Absent)<\/li>\n<li>Gender (0 \u2013 not specified \/ 1 \u2013 Male \/ 2 \u2013 Female).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It is possible to create such a file in a program like Microsoft Word by just separating the parameters with commas. \u00a0However, it is much easier to use a program like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice \/ OpenOffice Calc to create a spreadsheet with this information, and then save the spreadsheet as \u201cCSV (MS-DOS)\u201d in Excel or \u201cText CSV\u201d in Calc. \u00a0Now, when you save as a CSV file you are saving your data as a plain text file with commas. \u00a0So if you have done an fancy colors, etc. with the SpreadSheet then you may want to save the file twice, once in Excel format and once as CSV. \u00a0When you try to save as CSV, make sure you use \u201cCSV (MS-DOS)\u201d in Excel or \u201cText CSV (.csv)\u201d in Calc. \u00a0You may be warned that some formatting will be lost and that only the current sheet will be saved. \u00a0You must answer that you want to save as CSV anyway. \u00a0Also, if asked what \u201cField Delimiter\u201d to use use, make sure you use a comma (,). \u00a0If asked for a text delimiter, choose double quotes (\u201c).<br>\nWhen creating a SpreadSheet to use for importing, it is important that the first row in the Spread Sheet starts with the word \u201cName\u201d in the first column, and that you have exactly 6 columns for each user. \u00a0This can easily be done by hand. \u00a0However,\u00a0<a

\/><\/a><br>\nWith a previous Team Shake backup (identified by the file extension tsxml), you can completely restore all of your Team Shake lists and configuration, or just choose some of this to restore. \u00a0Above, we show the steps to restore a Team Shake backup:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to an email with the desired Team Shake backup. \u00a0Press and hold on the attachment until the \u201cOpen in\u201d window comes up. \u00a0 (Note that you can also load the file from Dropbox, Google drive, etc. \u00a0you just need to get to the \u201cOpen in\u201d option on these apps).<\/li>\n<li>Look for the \u201cOpen in Team Shake\u201d option and press on this.<\/li>\n<li>Team Shake will open and pop up a window with the following options:\n<ol>\n<li><b>Full Restore<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press here to do a full restore of all your configuration options and lists. \u00a0This will overwrite all of your current settings and lists. \u00a0This is perfect, if you are trying to copy one iPhone to another. \u00a0 Note that this is exactly identical to running both \u201cRestore Lists Only\u201d and \u201cRestory Configuration Only\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><b>Restore Lists Only<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press here to delete all of your current lists and replace them with the ones from this backup without touching your configuration options.<\/li>\n<li><b>Add to Current Lists<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press here to add the lists from this backup to you set of lists. \u00a0 Note that if a list in the backup has the same name as one of your current lists, you will end up with two lists with the same name. \u00a0You can manually correct this by saving one of the lists with a new name and deleting the old one.<\/li>\n<li><b>Restore Configuration Only<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press here to restore your configuration options without making any changes to your lists.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cancel<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Press here to go to Team Shake without restoring anything.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Configuration Options<\/h2>\n<p>Up to this point in the documentation, we have explained most of the ways that Team Shake can be used for creating teams and the different ways this can be customized. \u00a0Throughout the documentation we have referred to different configuration options. \u00a0 This section contains a complete list of all the configuration options, and how they impact the operation of the Team Shake.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"options\">General Options<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial Shake\n<ul>\n<li>Enables or disables creating teams by \u201cshaking\u201d your device on the main screen (may not be supported on all devices)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Follow-up Shake\n<ul>\n<li>Enables or disables creating teams by \u201cshaking\u201d your device on the teams screen (may not be supported on all devices)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Reset to Defaults\n<ul>\n<li>Press to reset all of the configuration options to their defaults. \u00a0This will only impact the configuration options. \u00a0It will NOT delete or change any saved lists. \u00a0Note this function is not yet implemented on Android.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"selection_options\">Teams Selection Options<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Larger uneven teams\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled in the case of an uneven number of players some teams will have more players than requested. \u00a0If disabled, some teams may have less players than requested. \u00a0This option has no impact if the players can be divided evenly into the requested team size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Larger Groups First\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled, in the case of uneven teams, the larger teams will be listed first. \u00a0If disabled, the smaller teams will be listed first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Subteam 1 in Team 1\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled, all the members of subteam 1 will always appear in team 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Balance Team Strengths\n<ul>\n<li>Creates teams with balanced strength based on the strength settings set per user. \u00a0Note, that this cannot be used with the \u201cEqual Ability Teams\u201d option since these two options create teams in different ways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Balance Male \/ Female\n<ul>\n<li>Creates teams such that each team has the same number of men and women as the other teams (as nearly as possible).<\/li>\n<li>This option does NOT work with the \u201cEqual Ability Teams\u201d option. \u00a0If both options are enabled, Team Shake will NOT produce balanced Male and Female teams.<\/li>\n<li>If both \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d and \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d configuration options are enabled, the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d selection method will be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Separate Male \/ Female\n<ul>\n<li>Creates teams that just contain men and just contain women<\/li>\n<li>If both \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d and \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d configuration options are enabled, the \u201cSeparate Male \/ Female\u201d selection method will be used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Balance alternates<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>This option should be used when extra players on a team will be treated as \u201calternates\u201d and not all players will play at once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Equal Ability Teams\n<ul>\n<li>This option creates teams that consists of equal strength players. \u00a0\u201cBalance Team Strengths\u201d must be disabled for this option to work. \u00a0This is useful when team members compete against each other rather than other teams.<\/li>\n<li>This option does NOT work with the \u201cBalance Male \/ Female\u201d option. \u00a0If both options are enabled, Team Shake will NOT produce balanced Male and Female teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<\/li><li>Single Uneven Sized Team\n<ul>\n<li>If this option is enabled, when players cannot be evenly divided across teams the last team will have all of the missing \/ extra users instead of trying to evenly distribute the missing \/ extra users. Note that if the \u2018Larger Uneven Teams\u2019 option is enabled, the last team will be larger then the other teams. Otherwise, the last team will be smaller. This option is only used if the size of the team is specified. It is NOT used when specifying the number of groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Two Female Minimum\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled, all teams will always contain at least 2 females or none at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Two Male Minimum\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled, all teams will always contain at least 2 males or none at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Random User Does Not Repeat\n<ul>\n<li>If enabled, the random player function on the main screen will pick each user once before repeating names.
