Overview of the events of 1911 in Canadian football
The WCRFU, with the support of the Albertan and Manitoban unions, adopted a playoff format in which the MRFU champion would host the SRFU champion, with ARFU hosting the winner of that game in the Western final. Although this was done ostensibly to minimize travel the SRFU champion Regina Rugby Club balked at the prospect of traveling for two playoff games and boycotted the Western playoffs altogether. This conflict was resolved the following year by changing the format so that it was the union without a home game in the Western playoffs that would receive the bye to the Western final.
The Calgary Tigers of the ARFU won the Western Championship, and challenged for the Grey Cup, but the CRU would not accept the challenge because the WCRFU was not a full member of the CRU.
