The dispatchers say it was strictly a noise abatement policy.

They claim way more noise-related calls on long weekends vs regular
weekends and the no-circuits policy helped alleviate that somewhat.

Interesting. Thanks for checking into it.

Not how I'd probably handle the issue, but then I'm not running an airport,
and there's nothing to suggest I'd be any good at it.
