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.
Jeff Paulson has created a KRFL Encyclopedia file and has been able to create All-Time Season Leader Lists for certain stat categories. Jeff tells me the cyclopedia program is pretty limited at this point (hopefully Action PC improves it in the 2019 version of the game). Jeff did a great job creating these lists. Thanks Jeff!
You can find the files at http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/download.php?view.606 Lists included are: Most Passing Yards in a Season Most Rushing Yards in a Season (one player has the top two, but it is not a players you'd think would) Most Receiving Yards in a Season Most Pass Receptions in a Season Most Points Scored in a Season (#1 and #2 are a surprise) Most Interceptions in a Season
Now that I believe we have them all, I will get the missing KRFL season uploaded to the League History section of the League Files page on the website.
With the retirement of long time member and Inverness owner Steve Swanson, I am pleased to announce our newest member replacing Steve.
Please welcome Craig Garretson to KRFL. I've known Craig for many years as a member of my two Diamond Mind Baseball leagues. Craig recently started playing Action PC football, and joined the other league I am in this past season. Craig lives in Randolph, NJ, but is a big Packers fan. Craig will be an excellent addition to KRFL. Welcome Craig!
Craig has announce the Inverness franchise will move to Newark, NJ and become the Newark Sugar Bears. The Sugar Bears' home field will be Newark Schools Stadium. Craig notes: The Action PC Football database says that the stadium is in Newark, NY, but it is actually in Newark, NJ: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark_Schools_Stadium. Several professional football teams played there, most notably the Newark Bears from 1939-1941. The Newark Bears were part of the American Association, which was an attempt at an NFL farm system. (There also was a Newark Bears that was a minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees, and then in the 1990s there was an independent league baseball team called the Newark Bears.) The old Newark Schools Stadium was knocked down about 10 years ago and they built a new stadium there which is pretty impressive for a public school stadium: https://s3-media3.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/ecG-s86Nx8J06OsAyHW1FQ/l.jpg
The 2018 KRFL Season Championship game will feature the SW Florida Storm (17-1) and the Salem Steers (17-1). Congratulations to both Jeff and Stacy on getting to the championship game.
The game will be played at US Bank Stadium, with no home field advantage. However Salem is considered the home team based on the tiebreaker of higher opponent's record.
Salem is going for it's 4th KRFL Championship. It last won in 2014 SW FLorida is going for it's 2nd KRFL Championship. It last won in 2012
The Championship game league file has been posted to the league website. BEST OF LUCK to BOTH JEFF & STACY!
Additionally, I have found a new owner for the Inverness team. Details to be announced after the Championship game.
