Why does the teleport just fling me to the wall instead of teleport the player downwards?

Ok, so i have a round script (I cut out the parts irrelevant to teleporting, like equipping the player) and before the round starts it is supposed to teleport the players to a random spawn point on the map (downwards of the lobby).

pos1 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn1.Position)
pos2 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn2.Position)
pos3 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn3.Position)
pos4 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn4.Position)
pos5 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn5.Position)
pos6 = Vector3.new(game.ServerStorage.spawns.spawn6.Position)

positions = {pos1,pos2,pos3,pos4,pos5,pos6}
TIME = 30 -- default
hint = game.Workspace.Hint
maps = game.ServerStorage.maps:GetChildren()

while true do
    while true do
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "The round starts in "..tostring(TIME).." seconds..."
        TIME = TIME - 1
        if TIME == 0 then
            hint.Text = "Picking and loading map..."
            wait(3)
            picked = maps[math.random(1,#maps)]
            hint.Text = "Chosen map is "..picked.Name..". Get ready."
            wait(3)
            clone = picked:Clone() clone.Parent = workspace
            plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
            TIME = 60
            wait(1)
            break
        end
    end
    --teleport players here
    for i,v in pairs(plrs) do
        print("equipping and teleporting")
        equip(v)
        ran = positions[math.random(1,#positions)]
        v.character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(ran)
    end
    --stops teleporting players and starts round.
    while true do
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Fight! The round ends in "..tostring(TIME).." seconds..."
        TIME = TIME - 1
        if TIME == 0 then
            hint.Text = "Round ending and teleporting players back..."
            clone:Destroy()
            wait(3)
            break
        end
    end
    TIME = 30
end

I haven't added a teleport back function yet because the script messes up while teleporting the player to one of the spawn positions. Instead of putting each player in the random selected spot the script teleports me to the East of the lobby, the wrong way from the downwards spot on the map. I've messed around with it some and can't seem to find the cause of this, it would lovely if someone can help because my little knowledge about Roblox CFrame.
