The optical light curve of the dwarf nova VW Hyi in the interval JD 2434604 - 2442600 is discussed. The authors confirm a tight correlation between the energy of a normal outburst, emitted in the visual passband, and the waiting time since the previous outburst. The residuals to this relation are correlated, at a 99.9% level of significance, with the phase of the supercycle; compared with this average relation, the normal outbursts become progressively more energetic during the time interval between superoutbursts. The distribution of the length of supercycles and the distribution of the times of the last normal outbursts in a supercycle are consistent with the idea that every superoutburst is triggered by a normal outburst.
