Many simulations, games, and other experiential exercises require participants to function in teams. The authors review the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of assigning participants to teams, including random assignment, self-selection, and facilitator assignment and then introduce and discuss computer-aided methods of team assignment. Guidelines are provided for how to choose an appropriate method of team assignment.
