I'm sure for next year, this is going to be on the list of "things to make happen."
For me, I can't be sure if they did the right thing or not. Under the circomstances, they probably did while in retrospect they didn't. Obviously there wasn't some backup plan in the event of the Einstein field having such errors, if it was the field at all. It might have been a "Einstein, the unsinkable field" mentality that it's been given time and time again, so having or needing a backup plan in case all goes haywire wasn't on anyone's mind.
That being said, as a volunteer myself I tend to give credit to the other volunteers and give them the benefit of the doubt that they did all they could. I won't say the field was to blame, but I would site the field as a probable culprit.
TL;DR, I don't know. But at least we know next year will have a lot more backup plans just in case of similar situations in the future, as well as a series of steps that would be taken to handle the issues correctly.
