The period distributions of dwarf novae and nova-like variables above the period gap are different if the VY Scl systems are classed with the nova-like variables, but the same when the VY Scl phenomenon is classed with the dwarf nova outbursts. for the remaining nova-like variables, the period gap is no longer significant. Classification of the VY Scl phenomenon with dwarf novae suggests that dwar...
