I'm interested to know if anybody drop catches .biz domains?
Most registrars which have a backorder option are using multiple accredited sub registrars to achieve higher drop catching success rate.
Here is an example(some of name.com registrars):
"Name.com, Inc. 2013 United States
Name.net, Inc. 2013 United States
Name104, Inc. 2013 United States
Name105, Inc. 2013 United States
Name106, Inc. 2013 United States
Name107, Inc. 2013 United States
Name108, Inc. 2013 United States
Name109, Inc. 2013 United States
"
You can see the DropCatch has significantly higher number of registrars than name.com and this is why they can issue more registration requests than most other backorder services(They have an higher success rate).

Very much appreciated response. I don't understand a lot of the technical stuff, maybe you can explain what is a sub-registrar? Why would more requests equal more success? And thanks for the ICANN link. Just an example I tried (unsuccessfully) to backorder GOLD/RO (Romania) when it dropped recently, but the registration was successfully made to another registrant by Sedo. What is the technical reason that Sedo beat all the other registrars to the backorder please?
