handshake line
Sportsmanship queue ritual
A handshake line is the post-game ritual where opposing teams file past each other exchanging brief handshakes, typically saying good game.
Standard in youth and amateur sports, it's meant to reinforce sportsmanship regardless of outcome.
Professional sports rarely use formal handshake lines, though hockey playoffs feature a similar tradition.
