Since play started in September, the school participation that occurred in such a short period of time was way above expectations. Over 80 schools participated in the fall competition, with the Carleton University Ravens winning the Fall 2021 competition.

Conference One had 831 registered players participate in fall play with Gabriel “MoobsXD” Powell from Carleton University as the standout player of the semester.
