Verification & contact rules
Verified numbers. Honest rules.
How measurable verification works
A measurable gets verified two ways: measured in person at a TapeBridge camp, or verified by a named college or high school coach. Verified numbers carry a badge on the athlete's profile.
Verified by a named coach
If the athlete edits a verified number, the badge clears until it's verified again.
When coaches can message you back
When a college coach can message you back depends on your graduation year, the coach's level, and your sport — NCAA rules set the calendar for Division I; Division II, Division III, NAIA, and junior college coaches are not gated for electronic communication. Athletes can always send messages and coaches can always watch your film. TapeBridge enforces the calendar automatically — and always confirm with your school's compliance office.
