Description
The Ohio-based, nationwide National Card Football League — and its sister venture the American Card Football League — share details of their methods for drafting, playing, stat-keeping and more in the inaugural episode of GamePlan with the APBA Football Club.
The NCFL, founded as a face-to-face league in Columbus, Ohio, in 1981, is now believed to be the longest-running APBA Football-only league. We caught up with Jerry Zajack, Bobby Porter, Brad Morgan and newest member Greg Barath (APBA Hall of Fame 2016) after some exciting outcomes in the ACFL's Week 3 action.
The ACFL and NCFL both employ an innovative, easy-to-use Skype method of play created by the NCFL 10 years ago (well before the beginning of pandemic shutdowns in March 2020). Zajack and Steve "bigfut" Meyersburg demonstrated the NCFL method during the 2013 APBA Football Club convention in Canton, and the method went global in November 2014 with a tournament that stretched as far as Australia (with APBA Football innovator Phil Molloy).
Check in regularly to both league websites for current standings and statistics, as well as historical draft results.
