Does anyone know if it’s possible to rename parts in the workspace for certain players but not others while a server is running

So for example, my part would be called “Tymxnt’s part”, and yours would be like “The_Conductor’s part”?
Is that what you mean?

indeed, For all the players assigned to a certain match the part would be “Z” while the players assigned to another match part would be “X”
Yeah, it is probably possible.
I’m not a scripter, but I know some scripting. You’d probably have to use teams, to do it in an easy way, I think.
certain players
Yes, but you need to add a condition, like if the player has over 100 points

If you want 1 part to be named differently for different players, you can fire a RemoteEvent to the players that should have that part renamed, and then change the name in a LocalScript.
If you want a part to be named after a player, you can use string.format to do that. More info here.

You don’t need to use string.format?
Just do
--client side
game.ReplicatedStorage.NamePart:FireServer()
--server side
game.ReplicatedStorage.NamePart.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(ply)
Instance.new("Part", workspace).Name = ply.Name
end)

If you mean like, for everyone else it’s named a specific thing and for one player another thing, you can do that with FilteringEnabled on and a local script.
Local scripts only run on the client, and therefore will only update stuff on the client unless a remote is fired or something.
If you were to put this in a local script:
workspace:WaitForChild("Part1").Name = "MyPart"
On the server-side it would be named Part1, but for that specific player it will be named MyPart

part.Name = string.format("UnpalatabIe", "%'s part") --> UnpalatabIe's part
If you put the player’s name into the part’s name (that’s what you did) the game might accidentally pick the part instead of player’s character, or the character instead of the part.

The game doesn’t refer to the players character purely by name. If you do this in your code, it’s a terrible practice and you should avoid it. Example:
game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(ply.Name) --bad
game.Players:FindFirstChild(ply.Name).Character --not terrible but you should only use if you're passing through the string of the players name and not the instance
game.Players.Player1.Character or game.Players.Player1.CharacterAdded:Wait() --good
