BATS Withdraws IPO Because They Can't Trade Their Own Ticker

BATS Global withdrew their IPO due to "technical reasons." As in, they were having trouble quoting prices for ticker symbols with an "A" or "B" in it. As in, they couldn't quote their own ticker on their IPO!

You are an exchange! This is your IPO! HOW CAN YOU FUCK THIS UP?
