[SOLVED] Team Balancing not working with two players or more?

Hello, I'm trying to make a team balance script, the problem is that it's not assigning anything right. No errors at all.

This is a server-sided script placed in ServerScriptService and fires the function when a player is leaving or joining.

I tried print debugging and only the commented block worked when I tried with two players, I am not looking for a corrected version of the script, I just need to know why it is not working. Thanks for viewing this!

local Players = game:GetService("Players")


local function balanceTeams(player)
    local tableOfPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()
    local numOfPlayers = #tableOfPlayers
    if not numOfPlayers == 1 then
        for i,v in pairs(tableOfPlayers) do 
            if i <= math.ceil(numOfPlayers / 2) and not v.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
                v.Team = game.Teams.Survivors
            else 
                break
            end
        end 
        for i,v in pairs(tableOfPlayers) do 
            if not v.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
                v.Team = game.Teams.Zombies
            end
        end
    elseif numOfPlayers == 1 then --only part that worked with two players.
        tableOfPlayers[1].Team = game.Teams.Zombies
    end
end


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(balanceTeams)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(balanceTeams)

So I solved my own problem, here is the code, I just tested and played around with the script and it worked. You can take this and study it but make sure there are two teams named "Survivors" and "Zombies"

--Variables/Tables
local Players = game:GetService("Players")


--Functions
local function balanceTeams(player)
    local tableOfPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()
    local numOfPlayers = #tableOfPlayers
    if numOfPlayers > 1 then
        for i,v in pairs(tableOfPlayers) do 
            if i <= math.ceil(numOfPlayers / 2) and not v.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
                v.Team = game.Teams.Survivors
                print(2)
            else 
                break
            end
        end 
        for i,v in pairs(tableOfPlayers) do 
            if not v.Team == game.Teams.Survivors then
                v.Team = game.Teams.Zombies
                print(3)
            end
        end
    elseif numOfPlayers == 1 then
        print(1)
        tableOfPlayers[1].Team = game.Teams.Zombies
    end
end

--Events
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(balanceTeams)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(balanceTeams)
