Why This Is Fair
Our random name picker uses a true randomization algorithm that ensures:
- Equal Probability: Each name has mathematically equal chances of being selected
- No Bias: The algorithm doesn't favor any particular name or position
- Transparent: You control the list - no hidden manipulation
- Repeatable: Run selections multiple times with consistent fairness
