I know it was a rough game, but we didn't have these issues with the carpet at Alamo or at Dallas.
The carpet they were using had been used before after seeing it during setup. Additionally, I don't think they had people going in the field and cutting off the pulled up pieces. (As the day went on, it got worse and worse and no one was removing the torn up carpet). I remember at other events there were people that specifically went in and were removing the pieces after the match which must have been why you didn't notice it at Alamo or Dallas.
