All names were allocated on a first come, first served basis. Registrars had pre-order lists. Those went in at 11am. People all over the world were typing in their choices at 11am. We processed over fifty thousand names in the first 24 hours. Surely you can see where it's possible that these things happen in the communication between multiple registrars, and the Registry, even with everything being automated.
