Gold medal for idiocy?

So the Olympics Ticket Farce continues?  Those who were unsuccessful in the first round - that is apparently most people - were theoretically able to apply yesterday for the remaining tickets on a "first come, first served" basis.  Except it appears it wasn't - even if you were able to access the site and "buy" tickets, you won't know for a day or two whether you have got those tickets or not.  It seems that applications are simply being logged in the order they were made and then these will be matched to the tickets available - so if there are 100 tickets available for sport X, and you "buy" a ticket for sport X but your application is the 101st received, then you ain't gonna get it. It is difficult to imagine a more convoluted and potentially frustrating method of handling the whole business.
