Complex Round Lobby System

Hello! I’m trying to make a battle arena game and I’m having trouble with the character selection process.

There are 2 stages of the game. The Lobby and the actual game.

I want to make sure that a player selects a character in order to be teleported into the actual game which as you can see I have tried to do below.

local maps = game:GetService("ServerStorage").Maps:GetChildren()
local Title = game.StarterGui.MapSelector.Title
local spawns = game.Workspace.Spawns:GetChildren()
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status
local Server = game.ReplicatedStorage.SERVER
ti = 0
Server.Value = "IDLE"
while true do
	ti = 30
	repeat
		ti = ti -1
		status.Value = "Intermission "..ti
		wait(1)
	until ti == 0
	
	local randomMap = maps[math.random(1, #maps)]
	randomMap:Clone().Parent = workspace
	current = randomMap.Name
	
	status.Value = "Loading.."
	task.wait(1)
	status.Value = "Starting game"
	task.wait(1.5)
	Server.Value = "GAME"
	local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
	
	for i = 1, #plrs do
		local randomSpawn = spawns[math.random(1, #spawns)]
			if plrs[i].Character.ready.Value == true then 
				plrs[i].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(randomSpawn.Position)
					plrs[i].Character.status.Value = "ingame"
		end
	end
	
	ti = 30
	repeat
		ti = ti -1
		status.Value = ti
		wait(1)
	until ti == 0
	for i = 1, #plrs do
		plrs[i].Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.SpawnLocation.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
		plrs[i].Character.status.Value = "lobby"
		Server.Value = "IDLE"
	end
	
	workspace[current]:Destroy()
end

The only problem is that if the player chooses a character a bit late or not within those 30 seconds of intermission they wonted be teleported. How would I fix this?

You could set a default character that everyone plays with if they don’t select a character, or you could give then a random character to play with if they haven’t selected one.
