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.
The current rule is: 13.4 - Any veteran player whose contract has not expired must be protected or cut with a salary cap penalty unless they have a DUR rating (durability) is no more than 3 (i.e. is 3 or less) as noted in Rule 14.14b.
Because of inconsistencies with the Durability ratings of some players with only a few game being on a NFL team's active roster, For the 2021 Season ONLY, Rule 13.4 will be amended to say: 13.4 - Any veteran player whose contract has not expired must be protected or cut with a salary cap penalty unless they have played in 3 games or less (based on the number of games played as listed on the player's stats/rating page in the game).
Please make note of this for the annual Roster Cut Down Week which begins May 23rd.
If you have ordered the 2021 Action PC Football Game, it is now available for download. If you have not purchased it yet, please do so.
The initial 2021 KRFL league file has been posted in the League Files section of the website for downloading. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR ROSTER IS CORRECT. If you see any errors, let me know. The deadline for informing me of roster errors is one week from today, May 5. If I do not get a message from you, I will assume your roster is correct. TRADING IS CLOSED and will open on May 6.
A list of players not found (i.e. retired, COVID-Opt outs, hurt all season, ect) is also posted in the League Files section of the website. Please review that list for your team as as those players are eligible to be kept on your injured reserve list.
Remember, roster sizes are now 55 players instead of 52.
