Speaking as a Software Engineer, I find this impossible to believe. In fact, even if the software is completely bug free (which is so highly unlikely I'd bet my life's savings on it) -- you still have hardware issues to deal with. 1 bit flip and you have an error. How that error manifests itself depends on when and where the bit was flipped.
Granted, it's not likely -- hardware is pretty stable and good code is generally error free. But generally is the key term. I truly hope that everyone's Panhellenic Association double checks the bid lists and those who did not receive bids to make sure that it makes sense. While the software is going to most likely get it right -- the exhausted people entering the data are another story entirely.
