This candidate is likely a type EA. I can see both the primary and secondary minima, but there is a significant discrepancy between the SuperWASP and the ROTSE3 measurements of the amplitude. What amplitude convention is used for type EA variables, the amplitude of the primary or the secondary minima or are both listed? How should I address the difference between the SuperWASP and ROTSE3 amplitudes? Do you have any other general comments or notes about this variable? Attached below is the gnuplot.

Try to improve the period a little bit. I can see both light curves are not matched precisely in time. SWASP caught only ingress without minimum (primary eclipse) and you're placing it at ROTSE's minimum position.
Primary eclipse is that deeper one and you mention about the secondary in Remarks section: "Min II = xx.xx V".
