* What happens after .com domain expires at Name.com?
* How many days till the expired .com becomes available for registration?
* Does Name.com take multiple backorders for one .com?
* If there is more than one backorder on the .com at Name.com, is the domain sent to auction?

I found one page at name.com but it does not have details like GD does.

I found the following for Godaddy and ICANN, looking for something similar for Name.com

Name.com takes one backorder, no auction.

What happens after .com domain expires at Name.com?
It goes through the drop cycle just the same as every other registrar.

How many days till the expired .com becomes available for registration?
If it is not renewed or restored, 81 days. 45-Day Grace Period, 30-Day Redemption Period, 5-Day Pending Delete period, then it is released and available for new registration.

Does Name.com take multiple backorders for one .com?
No, they only take 1 backorder.

If there is more than one backorder on the .com at Name.com, is the domain sent to auction?
Nope, no auctions. Only 1 backorder.

@FPForum , name.com blog post from may 2013 mentions : 25 days called the “Renewal grace period” unless this information is outdated?

icann gtld lifecycle mentions renewal grace period is not fixed and it is upto a registrar to decide how many days, anywhere between 0 to 45, a registrar wants a gtld domain to be in renewal grace period

so for name.com it seems to be 25 days + 30 days + 5 days = 60 days and a .com with name.com will drop on 61st day?
