Should we Move the Salary Worksheet and Draft Board to a Google Drive Page and Link them to League Info Above in the Upper Left Corner of This Page?

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.

----------------------------------

Under Rule 5, the first four picks in the rookie and free agent drafts are determined by a draft lottery. The lottery will be held Saturday, March 30 and this year includes Moline, W. Seattle, Warrington and Pittsburgh.

The determination of the draft order of the first four picks in each round of the draft will use a lottery system using the following state lotteries in the order listed below. The Commissioner will go down the list and match-up the pre-determined lottery number for each team with the corresponding range of winning lottery numbers to determine the order of the draft. If we get to the bottom of the state lottery list below and do not have the draft order set, we will continue the lottery the following day with the same state lotteries. Once a team has been assigned a spot in the lottery if their number comes up again, they will be skipped.

Draft Lottery results can be found at https://www.lotterypost.com/results and/or http://www.smartluck.com/usalotterieslinks.htm

Each team will be assigned every fourth number from 000-999 based on their seeded position, and the lottery drawings on a date to be announced in advance will determine the draft order. For example, let's assume Newark is the poorest team. Newark would be assigned the numbers 000-249... Hedonic might be assigned the numbers 250-499... Manchester might be assigned the numbers 500-749...Kendall might be assigned the numbers 750-999.

Now let's assume on the lottery date chosen, the numbers of the actual lottery drawing results for the first four lotteries above were: 773, 113, 919, 632. Thus, the team assigned the number 773 would draft first in this example (Manchester). The team assigned the number 113 (Newark) would draft second. The team assigned the numbers 919 (Manchester) is already drafting first, so we skip those numbers. The team assigned the number 632 is Kendall, so they would draft 3rd. The team drafting 4th must then be Hedonic, under this example.

Based on last season's results and the tie breaker process, the four teams eligible for the lottery picks and the numbers they have been assigned are:
Moline: 000-249
W. Seattle: 250-499
Warrington: 500-749
Pittsburgh: 750-999

Good luck to all!

The rest of the draft order is:
5 Baltimore 4 wins
6 Salem 5 wins, strength of victories .300
7 Appalachian 5 wins, strength of victories .284
8 Rolling Green 6 wins
9 Las Vegas 7 wins, strength of victories .269
10 Boca Raton 7 wins, strength of victories .210
11 Turin 8 wins, strength of victories .441
12 Edison 8 wins, strength of victories .371
13 Allentown 9 wins Wild Card Loss
14 Penn St 10 wins, strength of victories .450, Wild Card Loss
15 Kentucky 10 wins, strength of victories .447, Wild Card Loss
16 Bensalem 11wins Wild Card Loss
17 SW Florida 10 wins, Divisional Loss
18 Bay City 11 wins, Divisional Loss
19 Tampa Bay 12 wins, Divisional Loss
20 Iowa 13 wins, Divisional Loss
21 Des Moines 13 wins, Conf. Champ Loss
22 Cleveland 15 wins, Conf. Champ Loss
23 Vancouver 15 wins, Runner-Up
24 Atlanta 14 wins, Champion

Once again this season, Jeff Paulson has been gracious enough to give the league his time and generated a list of the 2024 nominees to be voted on for the induction into the KRFL Hall of Fame.
The KRFL Hall of Fame Committee, those coaches who have coached more than 200 regular season games (the equivalent of over 12 seasons) voted on 19 potential inductees. A players needed to be named on at least 75% of the ballots to gain induction.

The voting is complete and the 2024 class of the KRFL Hall of Fame has been elected as follows.
• QB Tom Brady - KRFL Career leader in passing yards (72,283), passing touchdowns (607), second in career completions (6,272) and career passer rating of (101.0). UNAMIMOUS VOTE.
• OL Marshall Yanda - 14 seasons, 8.0 avg rating, 7 season of 9 of above (two 10+ seasons)

• DE Dwight Freeney -459 tackles, 96 sacks, 45 stuffs, 41 forced fumbles, 7.4 avg rating, rated 9 or above 6 times (3 times rated 10) 5th all time in sacks,

The complete list of inductees and the vote results can be found on the league home page under "League Info" in the upper left hand corner or via http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/miscfiles/KRFL%20Hall%20of%20Fame.pdf

Brady is the 5th unanimous inductee following Peyton Manning, Tony Gonzalez, Alan Franeca and Charles Woodson.
OL Joe Staley missed being a unanimous selection by one vote.
WR Torey Holt fell one vote short of being named.
Josh Cribbs fell two votes short.

A big Thank You to Jeff Paulson and all the voting members of the committee for making this happen.
I hope to continue this as an annual event.
