I sent this email out earlier today to the EE club administrators that have used our system for NAHRA and NFRA events. Thought i would post it here to help get the word out. I'm pretty bummed about it.
I am sorry to announce that EntryExpress will no longer be available to NAHRA or NFRA events. We have worked diligently to find a way to make it work, but unfortunately our system is not conducive to the lower entry numbers of these venues. We have investigated several alternatives; such as entry minimums or catalog price increase. However, I feel having different pricing or imposing minimums would put undue cost and pressure on the clubs, which is in direct conflict with the mission of Entry Express. That being said, we have decided to exclude these venues until such time as the entry numbers consistently get to a level that is a better fit for our system.
I know most of you personally, and as a dog person, I want to see all these events on EE. But unfortunately, as a corporation with employees and overhead, we have to do what makes sense financially.
Thanks so much for your support. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can do for you.

I can relate. Internet was down a few hours last week. I felt like the world was coming to an end!!!!!!!cpayne said:Shayne,
We've had this conversation a couple of times on the phone and I completely understand. I think most others do as well. I just didn't want people to think "Oh My God" now what? We get to dependent on stuff these days. A little work never hurt anybody.
