Ben Smith, Michelle Bishop, Jeff Gordon, and Philippe Marchand were the original members. Gordon was president in the early years due to a former rule stating that uOttawa clubs and their presidents must be bilingual. Tamara Vardomskaya joined the team and led them to 5th place at 2004 NAQT Canadian SCT. Ottawa participated in the 2005 ICT and 2006 ICT, finishing in the bottom bracket both times.
Throughout the early 2010s, Ottawa remained active on both the regional and national scene. and was a regular attendee to ICT, with their highest results being 12th in DII in 2010 and 24th in DI in 2011. Ottawa played ICT in 2013 and 2014, led by Jordan Palmer. On the regional circuit, the club won the 2013 Canadian SCT and placed first in Canadian ACF Regionals in 2013, 2014, and 2015. However, tournament participation declined during the latter half of the decade, with the club failing to send teams to Regionals from 2017 to 2022.
