Players With Highest Experience Points Not Teleporting?

So what I have a problem with is that the script works half of the time. The Experience Points resets after a game is finished. But when people are waiting, usually one person that has low XP, and the person that has the second highest XP goes and gets teleported. I would like it for the people that always have the highest XP, are able to start the game.

function start(hit)	--------------------------------------------------------------- Action from touching brick
	local numb = game.Players.NumPlayers
	cleanup()
 if numb>1 then			-- Check that there is more than 1 player
	local person=hit.Parent
		if person and person:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		script.Disabled=true	
		local list = game.Players:GetPlayers()
		local p1 = list[1]
		local indy = 1
		local p2 = list[2]
		
				
		
		if numb > 2 then									-- If players>=3 need to compare				
			for x = 2, #list do								-- find player with highest exp
			local numba = list[x].leaderstats.Experience.Value
				if numba>list[x-1].leaderstats.Experience.Value then
				p1 = list[x]
				indy = x
				end
			end
			
			table.remove(list, indy)			
			p2 = list[1]			
						
			for x = 2, #list do								-- find player with second highest exp
			local numba = list[x].leaderstats.Experience.Value
				if numba>list[x-1].leaderstats.Experience.Value then
				p2 = list[x]
				end
			end
		end
	
	Competition(p1,p2)				-- Initializes positions and gets rid of their balls
	runclock(gametime)				-- Other script waits for shotclock to start
	finish()	
	
	script.Disabled=false
	else
		wait()
	end
 end
end

brick.Touched:connect(start)
