^ A. Concordia originally finished in second place with a 5–3 record in 2001 and hosted a QIFC semi-final playoff game to third-place McGill, losing 11–8.[8] However, Laval used an ineligible player throughout the entire season and vacated all regular season wins (forfeiting two wins against Concordia), giving Concordia a 7–1 record and a first place regular season finish albeit well after the 2001 season had concluded.[9]

^ B. Bishop's and Concordia both used ineligible players in the same game, so the game was declared "no contest" in a double forfeit.[10]

^ C. A 2017 game between the Montreal Carabins and Stingers was cancelled due to Montreal players and coaching staff members exhibiting flu symptoms.[11] Due to scheduling constraints, the game was outright cancelled and would not be rescheduled. Montreal and Concordia would only play seven games as a result and winning percentage would be counted in the standings as opposed to point totals.[12]
