As you mention in your website, ROTSE/NSVS data clearly shows this
variability:
http://skydot.lanl.gov/nsvs/star.php?num=6713581&mask=32004

I did a quick/hasty analysis of the ROTSE data, and get these times of
eclipse:

Primary    HJD 2451629.8139
Secondary  HJD 2451629.6666

Combining that with your recent eclipse timings, I get a period of:
0.297666 days.
