[SOLVED]Value in workspace wont set to what I tell it to?

--The reason that the script would not work is because the QueCountdown was getting to -1 because i was changing it manually right before it ticked down. I made a loop that fixes this error and it works now. Thanks for reading

This loop is supposed to set "workspace.Winner.Value" to another value that is in the workspace. Everything in the loop works up until the line that sets its value. (workspace.Winner.Value = Entry.Name)

any idea why it wont work?

function HowManyPlayers()
    local NumberOfParts = workspace.Roster:GetChildren()
    return #NumberOfParts
end

while true do
    wait()
    if HowManyPlayers(workspace.Roster) == 1 and workspace.Winner.Value == "" and workspace.QueCountdown.Value == 0 then
            workspace.TourneyTime.Value = 20
            workspace.TourneyTime.Countdown.Disabled = false
            workspace.QueCountdown.Value = 2
            workspace.QueCountdown.Countdown.Disabled = false
            local Entry = workspace.Roster:FindFirstChild(Player.Name)
            if Entry ~= nil then
            workspace.Winner.Value = Entry.Name
            local Message = Instance.new("Message")
            Message.Parent = workspace
            Message.Text = ""..workspace.Winner.Value.." Has Won the Tourney. Glory to their house!"
            local Rekt = workspace.RemoveMessageScript:Clone()
            Rekt.Parent = Message
            Rekt.Disabled = false
            local Reward = math.random(1,5000)
            if Reward ~= 5000 and Player.Name == workspace.Winner.Value then
                Player.Stats.Money.Value = Player.Stats.Money.Value + 1000
                Player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
            elseif Reward == 5000 and Player.Name == workspace.Winner.Value then
                print("Mini Punches")
                Player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
            end         
        end
    end
end
