About this presentation order picker
Speaking order is a small thing that can feel unfair, particularly when the last slot means presenting to a tired room. Drawing it publicly, in front of everyone, removes any suggestion that a teacher or a manager arranged the sequence — and that visibility is most of the value.
Replace the sample group labels with your real presenters before you start. Watch for duplicates: two people called Sam are two separate entries with two separate turns, which is correct, but two entries reading “Group 3” because of a typo is a group that presents twice. Pasting a column from a spreadsheet is the quickest way to get the list right.
This starts in Fair Round, which is the mode that matters. Each entry is held out after it is drawn until every other eligible entry has had a turn, so spinning once per slot produces a complete order with nobody drawn twice. Random mode would let the same group come up three times, which is not an order at all.
Do the whole draw in one sitting and read the results list top to bottom afterwards — the timestamps give you the sequence, and exporting it as a CSV gives you something to paste into a plan or put on a board. That is more reliable than writing names down as they land while a room is talking.
Two things to settle outside the wheel. It allocates a position, not a length, so agree the time per slot separately and keep it visible. And check any accommodations before you draw rather than after: if someone needs to present early for a genuine reason, take them out of the draw and place them, then run the wheel for the remaining slots.
How to use this wheel
- Review the 6 starter choices below. Rename, disable or replace any that do not fit.
- Start a new round to make the choices eligible. Each winner sits out for the rest of the round.
- Click the wheel to spin. The result saves locally before it appears.
- Export results as CSV, or share a link to send someone their own copy.
Customize your odds
Each starter entry has weight 1. Turn on Weights & colors to adjust its chance. An entry’s probability is its weight divided by the total weight of the eligible choices. Learn how weighted odds work.
Changing a color or spin speed does not change the winner. Read the selection rules.

Questions about the presentation order picker
Can a group be selected twice in the same order?
Fair Round prevents the same entry from being drawn again in that round. Duplicate labels remain separate entries, so check the list first.
How do I keep a record of the order?
Open Results history after the draws. Use timestamps to read the sequence and export the history if you need a copy.
Can I reuse the roster for another session?
Yes. Start a new round when you need a fresh order; the roster remains available on this device.
