I think it was correct to make it right.  If the wrong pairings were played, the
noise would have been even worse than it was.  But in the future, a procedure
ought to be in place to deal with that situation.

One thing that might help would be not to start the games prior to the start
time, as many were doing.  We also might want to wait for the TD to verify
things and to give the "go" signal.
