Submitting documents before match. Is this violation of NRMP

[drmdxray]

One of the scramble services says that they submit an application to all the programs of interest 1 week before the match. Does this constitute violation of the NRMP agreement since NRMP says that you may not contact any program before 12:00 PM ET on scramble day.

Kindly reply. If anyone has used this service successfully, please let me know if you had any trouble from NRMP.

The NRMP Match Participation Agreement says:
"Unmatched applicants and programs may not contact each other about unfilled positions prior to 12:00 noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week."

One becomes Matched/Unmatched at Noon on the Match day. The "silence" time is the 24 hr period from Monday Noon to Tuesday Noon.
