CRTS J200331.3-284941: possible eclipsing SU UMa (or WZ Sge) object

   Josch Hambsch has reported observations.  The object
showed large-amplitude (nearly 0.6 mag) variations
and was accompanied by eclipse-like fadings.
The period was 0.0585(7) d.  The light curve may be
either that of an eclipsing SU UMa-type object
or that of early superhumps of a WZ Sge-type object,
although the outburst amplitude is rather small.
Eclipses are not so apparent in the CRTS data
(due to the faintness?).  Considering that the 2010
outburst had a possible fading tail, the second possibility
needs more consideration.  Further observations are
very strongly encouraged.
