Kolbenturnier

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a bunch of toy cars and you want to race them against your friends' toy cars. But you also want to make it fair and make sure everyone has the same chance to win. That's where the Kolbenturnier comes in!

A Kolbenturnier is basically a type of tournament where everyone gets to race multiple times against different opponents. It's like a big race track with different lanes and each time you race, you get to switch lanes so you have an equal chance on each lane.

Here's how it works:

- First, everyone's names get put into a hat and randomly drawn to create a "schedule" of who will race against who.
- Then, each racer gets assigned a lane for their first race.
- The racers start at the same time and race to the end of the track.
- Once everyone has raced, the results are recorded - who won, who came in second, etc.
- The racers then switch lanes and race again, against a different opponent.
- This keeps going until everyone has raced against everyone at least once.
- Finally, the results of all the races are added up and the person with the highest score is declared the winner!

So the Kolbenturnier makes sure everyone has a fair shot to race against each other and it's a fun way to see who is the fastest and best at racing toy cars.
