How does Team Transition work (Where members change over)?

‘Full Relay’ Team Event – 3 Team members complete a full Triathlon each, one after the other, handing over an ankle timing band between members in the ‘Team Transition’ Area.

‘Fun Relay’ Team Event – In this event, 2 or 3 members share the legs of one Triathlon. For example, I do the swim, and then hand over the ankle timing band to my teammate who does the ride, then hand over again to last teammate who does the run. All changeovers are made at the bike rack for this event.
