We were on the blue side and died for an extended period of time in one match on Einstein, and briefly in others. At least one of our partners died for a time, and had glitches. We had no such problems on the Curie field. Regarding who "should have won," we'll never know for sure, but if played on a properly working field, it is quite possible that the Canadians would have beaten us, and we never would have made it to the finals.
As far as solutions, this year is done, but for next year....
1) One of the division fields could be used as Einstein for the "superfinals." It would have been well-tested after running over 150 matches. To my knowledge, we had no field-related issues on the Curie field during 3 days of play. If i'm wrong on that, please correct me.
2) Teams could play most of their matches on their "home" field, but be rotated through the Einstein field as was done at Disney, and maybe since then. That way, the field would be well tested, and presumably fixed, if there were problems.
