Measurements of all observed outbursts of 21 dwarf novae during a three-year interval (JD2442300-JD2443300), using the data records of the AAVSO, are reported. Relationships among the rise time, outburst length, decline time, quiescent interval, maximum V magnitude, and physical-system parameters (such as orbital period and masses of the component stars) were investigated. The results confirm some, but not all, of the correlations previously found for the best-studied system SS Cyg and other less consistent surveys. The long-outburst and short-outburst separation characteristic of the SU UMa class are used to identify several prime suspects for this group.
