Why does balancing not give the same teams every time?

Because equal levels are shuffled before dealing.

Can someone rig the draw?

Not on this page; it runs on your device.

Is it fair to put the best player first?

Snake order offsets it, as the first team picks last in the next round.

Are Random Team Generators Really Random? How This One Works

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Yes. Without levels, the list is shuffled with the browser's cryptographic random generator, so every split into teams is equally likely and nobody, including Utilorca, can influence it. With Balance by level, players are first sorted by level so teams come out even, but players with the same level are shuffled randomly before being dealt in snake order, so the exact teams still change every time. Everything runs in your browser, and the names are not sent anywhere.
