ASASSN-19zx: new WZ Sge-type dwarf nova

   Josch Hambsch reported observations.  The object
started to show superhumps on Nov. 7 (or on Nov. 6).
The current period is 0.0562(1) d.  The amplitude
is rather small (0.10 mag), suggesting that
the mass ratio is small.
Considering the long waiting time (12 d) for superhumps
to appear, this object is most likely a WZ Sge-type
dwarf nova.
