So basically I would have gotten them if I had used GoDaddy's backordering system? Or there would have been an auction?

It is probably godaddy's backordering system that did that.

 

[AdoptableDomains]

Probably the temporary whois info they use on backorders. The backorder owners name will probably replace it in a couple days. Pool and namewinner do basically the same thing.

Regards.us - I just caught this domain today using GoDaddy's backorder, and it also had a similar whois showing for a short while (approx 1-2 hours) before it updated to our info, so I think Mike and Mark are correct. It must just be a temporary thing they use while assigning the domains to the backorder customers.
