Need a quick way to decide who does something:

There are two modes:

1. An instant on-screen version, useful if everyone is in the same room.
2. A group session for use when working remotely. These sessions are time-limited.

We used the on-screen version to decide who would go to a remote site to install servers next week. It saved me the job of picking on someone! All it required was to give the session a name, enter how many people there are to choose from, name them, then let the application choose at random.

The group session is a bit more involved. Those involved in the draw can add categories, and options within categories. Once everyone has given input, or the deadline for choosing has been reached, the options are selected at random.
