Thanks to intensive monitoring by visual observers, the cycle lengths of V1113 Cyg seem to have become pretty well established.
Recent outbursts:

POY (single obs.) 50546 14.0 super POY,SNO,JENIntervals between adjacent superoutbursts are 229, 199, 178, 169, 174 d (shortening of supercycle?), average of recent three ones being 170 d.
This system seems to be rather peculiar in that normal outbursts are rather infrequent compared to numerous superoutbursts. Systems with only two (or three) normal outbursts in one supercycle is rarely met in such short supercycle (170 d) SU UMa-type dwarf novae (cf. Warner B. 1995, ApSS, 226, 187). From the viewpoint of the outburst pattern, there may be some resemblance to the recently discovered peculiar SU UMa-type dwarf nova V503 Cyg. Close monitoring to confirm the cycle length of normal outbursts is desirable than ever.
