online entry - Elkhorn

We have found out that the Online entry system does NOT allow you to enter two races on the same day.

I have the USTA working on this but it will not be fixed prior to the draw Tuesday.

Unfortunately you will have to call entries in for the 2nd race you plan to enter on Saturday or Sunday.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hopefully they will have it fixed next year.

Thanks
