Yadda, yadda.  I'll have a look in a moment.  But the URL below is
fascinating:

You have to make n assumptions when reading it, but it looks to me like
the first usage I've seen of "austragen" as a direct antonym of
"eintragen".

"Tragen" means [literally] to carry.  "Eintragen" is 'carry in' -
record, register, enter in a list, etc.  "Austragen" means to execute,
as in to perform what is required in a contract, complete a sports
competition, etc.   Not a direct antonym by any means.

"Austragen" seems, in the cited URL, to be used as a direct antonym of
"eintragen" - 'delete from a list'.
