Didn't know you could post too many solutions in a row.  I guess I should post as I go.

Fantastic, creative, fun, open end, challenge!

With 2 nested Iterative macros, I might have over engineered it a bit...  But It's as fair as it gets, with each participant getting 1 out of 5 from each group of 5 similarly ranked teams.  Shame Alteryx does not allow the same macro to be called recursively.. that would have saved some work.

 

Also a shame the Random sample does not return scrambled records (randomized order) when you pick a sample of 5 out of  5 records!! What's up with that? @academy

Anyway.. here's the full solution.

Great Challenge. My Solution attached.

 

If this was for real use, you could keep running the workflow until the rand function gives you the team you want
