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 25, 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 26-April 1: Every KRFL member is required to vote on each amendment before 8 pm eastern Saturday, April 1. -Sunday April 2 – Ballot results of the ballot are posted. The updated league Rule Book will be posted to the site shortly thereafter. email to someone

Jeff Paulson had the idea that a league that has been in existence 22 seasons should have a Hall of Fame. I concur. I don't think many (any?) leagues do this, so it will continue to make KRFL the unique league it is.
With Jeff doing most of the work, we've generated a list of the nominees by position to be voted on for the inaugural class of KRFL Hall of Fame Inductees. A KRFL Hall of Fame committee was created with the members being those coaches who have coached in at least 200 KRFL regular season games. Those 11 coaches voted on the slate of nominees for the inaugural class of inductees. A players needed to be named on at least 75% of the ballots to gain induction into the KRFL Hall of Fame.
The voting is complete and the inaugural class of the KRFL Hall of Fame has been elected. A total of 17 players have been elected, including four elected by unanimous vote. Those four who appeared on all 11 ballots are: - Five Time KRFL Champion QB Peyton Manning - Four Time KRFL Champion CB Charles Woodson - Three Time KRFL Champion TE Tony Gonzalez - One Time KRFL Champion OL Alan Faneca
The 2023 Season Roll Call is complete. All coaches are returning except Ed Minshull who decided to step away citing lack of time to continue. Ed was a coach for 14 seasons and complied a 122-102 regular season record. Ed's Seattle Grunge team will be taken over by Brian Potrafka. Brian has decided to move the team to Las Vegas to become the Las Vegas Raiders. Welcome to KRFL Brian!
Next up on the league agenda is requests for divisional / conference realignment. By league rule, the assignment of teams to a conference or division will, when possible, be based upon the geographic location of the owners to make scheduling games easier by grouping teams according to time zone. Realignment, if necessary, will take place every three years at the discretion of the League Office. This was last done for the 2020 season, so the 2023 season is a "realignment" season. If any team is having issues scheduling games because of time zones and would like to be considered for moving to a different division or conference, please send me a request to move and the reasons for the request. Be specific and understand your request may not be granted.
Beyond that, the KRFL Hall of Fame is still a work in process, so stay tuned.......
