Paste the eight names, set Seats per row to 4 and select Assign seats. Mark the front row and pick one starting side. Read each label followed by the assigned name.
Example output
Illustrative result. A new draw can produce a different selection or order.
| Row | Seats in order |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1. Hugo · 2. Finn · 3. Dev · 4. Bo |
| 2 | 1. Ada · 2. Cora · 3. Esme · 4. Gia |
Check the result
Check that each row contains seats 1 through 4 and that each reader appears once. If a printed list is sorted by name, use the row and seat labels to recover the physical order. For fixed or accessible seats, handle those assignments separately and map the generated positions to the remaining seats.
Open the regular Random Seating Chart.
