UF Team Picker

The UF Team Picker was designed for Ultimate Frisbee games (or Ultimate games, since "Frisbee" is trademarked). The app is able to fairly consistently pick a given number of teams with players fairly/evenly distributed, based on 7 different player skills. You can add, edit, and delete players quickly and easily. Players can be set as "active" or "inactive," which means you don't have to continually re-enter players when someone drops out for a while. It's really quick and easy to select who is there (or who is not there; there's an option for if you want to have everyone "present" by default or "absent" by default), too.

Pairings and splits make it easy to make sure certain players don't play together (e.g., maybe they're the two tallest players by 6" or something like that). Other options like gender distribution or skill weighting can help customize the algorithms to your particular group's needs.

From what I have been able to tell on the android market, this is the only application that does all this and has this amount of features; and you don't even have to pay for it. I'd love it if you reviewed the app on either the Amazon App Store or the Android Market, it helps gain popularity. Because the Amazon App Store has a more lengthy review process, updates from there tend to take a little longer than through the official market.pu
