The competition and the whole day are about the inclusion of all adult members.  The competition is open to all adult players and accomodates novice players.  The draw for partners is weighted so that the stronger players are matched with the weaker ones so that they can support them throughout the competition.  The system works and has to date produced competitive and enjoyable events.  Fit players of all abilities will be given the opportunity to compete in comfort.   In the past players who have been playing for only one season have reached the knock out stages.  So don't think about it any longer, enter now, send that text,  you've still got six weeks left to practice.  Attend the club nights which will be re-activated this week and get you and your tennis in shape for the big day.
