Welcome to the KRFL website. The Knute Rockne Football League was founded in 2001 by Jim Doyle, who served with distinction as our first commissioner thru mid-2003. The KRFL is a 24-team league that simulates the NFL using the Action PC Football game available from Dave Koch Sports (dksports.com). We have our own rookie draft, our own free agency, and our own salary cap and player retention system. Our 24 members have many diverse interests, but they share one common bond, the love of NFL football. For further information or to apply for membership, contact the KRFL commissioner.
Each proposal MUST use the following format: - Current Rule: List the section number of the current Rule Book. If new, state “new". - Proposed Change: List the specific language of the change you would like to make to a current rule. Highlight the differences from the current rule. - Explanation/Justification: Explain/justify why you feel this change/new rule is needed.
Please note that league rules state any proposed change must get the support of three other owners before it will be put before the membership for a vote.
Proposals and comments can be made until March 22, but as noted above, require three other owners to support it before it will be put to a vote. Then the following schedule will be adhered to: -March 24-March 30: Every KRFL member is required to vote on each amendment before 8 pm eastern Saturday, March 30. -Sunday March 31 – Ballot results of the ballot are posted. The updated league Rule Book will be posted to the site shortly thereafter.

You may have noticed I've started setting up the discussion forums on the league website for the 2024-25 season. You can ignore for now unless you are interested. The salaries for players Franchised in 2024 is included in the 2024 Roster Cut-Down and Contracting forum.
I've uploaded a pre-roster cut-down and contacting salary worksheet, league file and draft board to the league files section of the website. Again, nothing you need to do now unless you want to get started on preparing for the 2024-25 season. Please be aware the league file uses 2022 player stats and ratings!
I still need to update the league records and get those posted. Stay tuned....

Congratulations to Valentino on his second KRFL Championship and to Steve on a fantastic season that came up just short.
I will get the KRFL Wall of Fame updated and posted.
With the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, we bid adieu to two long time members, Cliff Dolgins and Mark Haucke. Best wishes gentlemen. The door is always open for your return.
With that, I want to welcome two new members of KRFL... +Trey Morris will be taking over Mark's team and has renamed the team the Appalachian Wookiees. Trey was referred to the KRFL by James Riley. Thanks James! +Maddi Bieber will be taking over Cliff's team and has renamed the team the Allentown Mules. Maddi is Rick Bieber's (Warrington) daughter. Thanks Rick! Welcome to both Trey and Maddi. Since I have not gotten messages from anyone else that they will not return in 2024, I assume everyone will return.
In the meantime I will get working on updating and posting a 2024 season salary worksheet and draft board. Getting Trey and Maddi's team logo's on the website. And getting the 2024 season calendar set up and posted on the league website. The league encyclopedia file, updated with the 2023 season, has been posted in the History section under League Files on the website. I will get the career and single season records updated and posted soon.
THANK YOU ALL for a successful and smooth 2023-24 KRFL season.
