Observed November 6,2026 Asia/Shanghai at https://tournamyx.com/random-team-generator .
Use eight synthetic entries one per line: S01 Aster; S02 Birch; S03 Cedar; S04 Dune; S05 Elm; S06 Fern; S07 Grove; S08 Hazel. Select2teams and Balanced.
Record input order and both cards. Click Balanced again; recorded lists/input unchanged.
Click Randomise once. Record changed textarea order and cards; Balanced remains selected. Our order was Grove,Fern,Aster,Dune,Hazel,Birch,Cedar,Elm, each with its S-code.
Click Balanced again: same current order/cards. Select In order: same textarea, teams first4/last4.
Restore original ascending input while In order remains selected: first4/last4 original labels. Select Balanced: original Balanced groups return.
Your random order can differ; compare action and input/mode relation, not a guarantee of exact random membership. No skill ratings, account, real event or random-quality test.
Transcript is selected operator observations, not an original CSV/export.
Local archive check sends no requests. Save shuffle-deal-observations.txt plus this code as verify.cjs; run node verify.cjs.
