ASASSN-16eg: well-developed superhumps, not a bouncer

   Tamas Tordai, Arto Oksanen, Vitaly Neustroev, Roger Pickard,
Itoh-san, Geoff Stone and Ian Miller have reported
new observations.  The object showed growing superhumps
between Apr. 14 and 16.  The object now shows fully
developed stage B superhumps with a period of
0.07776(4) d.  The period of stage A superhumps was
0.07893(6) d.  This value corresponds to q=0.0123(3),
indicating that this object is not a period bouncer.
It looks like a large-amplitude long-Porb SU UMa-type
dwarf nova similar to V1251 Cyg.
