How Does the Race Simulator Work?
Add your racers, one name per line, choose Horses or Ducks and a race length, then click Start the race. Each racer gets a random speed that changes as the race goes on, so the lead can switch many times. The first racer to cross the finish line wins.
A race is a much more exciting way to pick a winner than a simple list. Teachers use it to choose who goes first, offices use it for prize draws and team decisions, and streamers use it to let chat watch a live pick. Every racer has the same chance to win.
Races run on your own device. Every result uses your browser’s secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), and nothing you type is sent to Teasoft.
