Team Building Methods
Method 1: Sequential Assignment

- Set wheel to alternate between "Team A" and "Team B"
- Spin for each player to get their team assignment
- Use "Remove after assignment" to track who's been placed
Method 2: Captain Selection
- First, use the wheel to randomly select team captains
- Then let captains take turns spinning for their picks
- Creates excitement while maintaining fairness
- Perfect for competitive environments
Method 3: Batch Assignment
