For these young students, the Moselle Open was an opportunity to discover the diversity of tasks necessary for organizing a professional tournament. Divided into teams, they took on varied missions such as:
- The ticket office : On the front line with the public, the students managed the entrance of the public and the orientation of spectators, an enriching experience in terms of customer relations.
- Accreditation management : They took care of the printing and distribution of accreditations for the various players in the tournament: players, staff, media and sponsors, ensuring a smooth and rigorous process.
- The parking lot and the shop : Some were assigned to the parking lot cash register, crucial logistical management for the organization, while others ensured the restocking of the official store, programs and daily newspapers.
- The “voltigeurs” : Responsible for multiple versatile tasks, the “voltigeurs” notably contributed to filling in the scoreboard in real time and assisted in the coordination of the teams, the smooth running of the activities, and the logistics around the fields.
