I think I was giving a clue and trying to encourage Matt and the rest to think outside the box (of heart shaped chocolates) for the (partial) answer to this mystery...

I don't think it is a reason though. It has always been on the corresponding weekend in previous years. Indeed, there have been direct clashes with February 14th in the past, which didn't exist this year.

It is a partial answer Alex. How many byes were there in round 3 last year?

I don't know; we didn't use Tournament Director, and I suspect the pairing cards have long since been destroyed. The Open went down to board 8, I seem to remember (and one player had a bye), and the Major had plenty of boards. This time, they both had 5. I wasn't paying too much attention to the other sections; they were too far away from the stage, and I wasn't running either of them.

Well you'll have to come up with some hard evidence before I accept that there was a significant increase this year in round 3 byes.

Well, DT said so. That's all the evidence I need. :)
