----------------------------- We do our annual roll call after the playoffs, but if you already know you will not return next season, I'd appreciate you informing me now.
With that we will have some changes next season.... First, Salt City will be relocating to Baltimore and become the Baltimore Fire. And we know New York will be seeking a new coach. We have one on board thanks to James Riley. James referred Trey Morris to KRFL and Trey will be taking over the New York team unless another team opens up. Trey also lives in Kentucky and will rename his team and become the Appalachian Wookiees. Welcome Trey and Thank You James!
Long time KRFL member Cliff Dolgins announced he is stepping away from the New York Hitmen at the end of this season. Cliff has been a member of KRFL since the 2004 season and has found remarkable success in the league. - The only FIVE time league champion - 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013 - Most regular season wins of any coach in the league - 247. - Highest regular season winning percentage of all coaches with more than 100 games - 247-75 for a 76.7% win percentage. - Tied with Jim Rice for most playoff games wins - 22 wins and 13 losses
Cliff was a member of the Hall of Fame Committee and a member of the Trade Committee (so I will need a new trade committee member. If you are interested let me know.)
I want to thank Cliff for his contributions to KRFL over the many years, and especially his wisdom as part of the league's trade committee. I wish Cliff nothing but the best and he will always be welcome to rejoin the league in the future.
Although we do our annual Roll Call in February, if you already know you will not be returning for the 2024 KRFL season, I would appreciate it if you would tell me now.

Regular Season Complete. WildCard Playoff Games Due Tuesday 1/9/24 at 10pm Eastern
The 2023 KRFL Regular Season is complete. The final regular season league file is available on the league website. Thank you all for a smooth season!! Congrats to all the playoff teams.
The Wildcard Playoff round league file has also been posted to the league website.
*******VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ********** The Playoffs have been created using a Playoff Bracket system in the game. This creates a NEW, SEPARATE league playoff file. The playoff teams MUST (and anyone else who wants to follow along should) follow these steps, in this order: 1. Download the 2023 Final Regular Season league file from the league website. 2. Extract the 2023 Final Regular Season league files into your 2023 KRFL season folder, the same as you have done with the prior 17 weekly files. 3. Download 2023 KRFL Wildcard Playoff league file from the league website. 4. Next you MUST got to "Setup", and "Install Season". Find the playoff file you downloaded and install it. This will create a new folder on your computer for the playoff files. You should name the folder 2023 KRFL Playoffs After this new folder is created, for the subsequent rounds of the playoffs, you only need to download and extract the PLAYOFF league files to that folder and NOT the regular season folder.
