I am confused as to why you are looping over one value to begin with? 
You really only need to loop over a list of values but you only have one.

Anyway, you need to change something with each iteration of your loop. 
If you don't modify the team name, or the array of teams, or what 
condition you are checking on you just keep checking the same thing over 
and over and it always ends up with the same result (true in your case).
Every time you call checkDuplicate() you are resetting your count to 0. 
You probably should be keeping that in a global somewhere so that it 
keeps its value between iterations. But even then, I am not sure that 
what you have written is what you really need.
