the reason theres 135 lines is because I don't know much about for loops to shorten it.

The problem is that PlayerCount is not a property of Players - you're trying to compare something that doesn't exist.

That won't work, and will cause your code to error. Instead, use NumPlayers.

if game.Players.NumPlayers < 3 then
	-->> Code
end

Here's how you use a for loop in terms of numbers:

for Number = StartNumber,EndNumber,Step do
	print(Number)
end

Number is simply a variable - you can change its name to anything that will work for a variable. People commonly use i as the name. In the below code, I make the name Count.

StartNumber and EndNumber are the numbers the loop starts and ends at. Step is the way it goes from the start number to the end number.

Step, by default, is 1. That means it goes up by one every time it loops. If you want to count down instead, like below, you would set it to -1. It doesn't have to be 1 - it can't be any number.

Here's the code to count down:

for Count = 60,1,-1 do
	script.Parent.Text = "Intermission " ..Count -->> Concatenate (add/merge) Count onto the text

	if Count == 10 then -->> If 10 seconds are left
		script.Parent.Tick:Play()
	end

	wait(1)
end

TIP: Format your code properly. You can see in the code above, I have used tab to indent ends and code inside other code.

It is much easier to read and fix your code that way.

-->> Harder to read and understand
if Condition then
	if Condition2 then
	print("Hi!")
end
end

-->> Easier to read and understand
if Condition then
	if Condition2 then
		print("Hi!")
	end
end

Hope I helped!
