Dead Period: 12/23/13 - 1/3/14

See confusion over this in multiple posts, so figured I'd make a post to cover it. Right now, in the "Dead Period" coaches can call (or IM, or mail) recruits.

the calendar cycles between Dead and Quiet periods through 2/6/14

Definitions:
-- Dead Period --
The college coach cannot make in-person contact with you or your legal guardians. This prevents the coach from making any evaluations of you whatsoever. However, the coach can make telephone calls to you or your legal guardians.

-- Quiet Period --
During this time a college coach cannot watch you compete at any location. It is allowed for the college coach to make in-person contact with you or your legal guardians if it occurs on the coach's campus. The coach can still make telephone calls to you or your legal guardians, and you can make visits to college campuses during this time.
