hand-off
Relay runner's moment
A hand-off is a transfer of something from one person or entity to another, especially in a coordinated or planned way.
In American football, the quarterback executes a hand-off by placing the ball directly into a running back's hands.
The term extends to any smooth transfer of responsibility: The project hand-off between teams went smoothly.
In telecommunications, a hand-off occurs when a mobile device switches from one cell tower to another during a call.
