If a contestant is convicted of plagiarism in the American Mathematical Modeling Competition (MCM) or other similar competitions, according to the competition rules and practices, the organizer will generally inform the contestant's school. This is to ensure the fairness and justice of the competition and let the school know the students' behavior.

Specifically, if a player is convicted of plagiarism, the organizing committee can directly notify the player's school after the audit results are announced, or ask the player and his school to provide a statement to the organizing committee explaining the player's behavior and how to prevent such incidents.
