So now you can backorder a domain normally or you can backorder it with a high priority. The text in the link says:
What does that actually mean? What does it mean to catch a domain before it releases? It doesn't make sense to me. Furthermore, what happens if person 1 does a high priority backorder and person 2 does a low priority backorder? Does person 1 win the domain or is there an auction with the starting bid equivalent to person 1's backorder price?
I can only see this coming in useful if you're competing with someone backordering from a different registrar (if the high priority backorder is faster) but how would you ever know?
I tried to ask support but they had no clue. They said they would send a follow up email but they never did. That was a few days ago. Does anyone here know?
I thought I'd ask @Dynadot in a PM but it's better if it's answered publicly so other people can understand this better.

- High priority pricing level ($124.99): We will attempt to catch the domain before they release.
- Low priority pricing level ($64.99): We will attempt to catch the domain right when they release.
