Drop catch for .us domain?

[msj]

Is there a drop catcher service for .us domains?

I'm interested in buying a domain that expired within the last week (It's possible that it still may be renewed by the current owner). I'm not sure what the timetable is for .us domains, i.e. if they follow the same schedule as .com, etc, so I don't even know when the domain will become available. Enom is the registrar of record. It appears that the drop catching services (including Enom's Club Drop) don't deal with the .us ccTLD.

What should I do to increase my chances of getting this domain?

I would estimate that GoDaddy's backordering service catches 90-95% of all .US domains entered in their system. No one else is even close. The problem is they only accept one order per name (no auctions) so if you don't get the back order slot there, you are SOL. With the growing interest in .us I can't believe none of the other drop catchers goes after them (a couple actually do, but their success rate is near zero). Enom's Paul Stahura said at the Traffic show last October that they would start going after .us with Club Drop but that hasn't happened.
