This was in CCT5, rounds 7,8,9. It might have been correct. I forgot about (from
FIDE handbook)

13. Exceptions applicable to the last round

In the last round, Rule 3, requiring players with the same score to be paired if
they had not met in an earlier round, shall have priority over alternation and
equalisation of colours, even if it is necessary for one of the players to be
given the same colour for the third round in succession, or to be given three
more of one colour than the other.

However, getting White in the last round would seem more logical. Comet would
then have had WBB and Yace BBW in the last 3 rounds, and neither would have 3
times the same color in a row.
