Is anyone able to suggest a link where I can find all playoffs results and final regular season standings of this league?
I'm looking for some info since days but I can't find anything.
Thanks

The scrolling scoreboard has the final score of the first round playoff game. Due to unfortunate conflicts, the championship game was not played. You can probably find much of what you're looking for in the text on the site.

I saw result of this year playoff game, thank.
But nothing about the other 3 years playoffs.
History link is empty, and the news in the news link are just a few.
Moreover, 2006 standings are unclear to me: why Wichita got the 1st seed despite having a worst record (10-2) them Kansas (11-2)?
However nothing of the years from 2003 to 2005, standings or results.
Noone is a fan of APFL and have those?

You asked the million-dollar question.
The team was allegedly told by the league not to play a late-season game against a team that was not a full member of the league (and was beaten soundly by Wichita in an earlier meeting). It wasn't shown in the standings, but they were credited for the win in terms of playoff standings.
Wichita beat Kansas two out of three games to otherwise break the head-to-head tie breaker.
Wichita and Kansas are both owned by the same guy (Ralph Adams), who also controls the league and is in arrears with a lot of bills, at least in Wichita.
The Wichita GM and the owner had a late-season falling out and would more than welcome a WWE match under hardcore rules (no disqualifications, pinfalls count anywhere).
So a season that started out with so much promise (with the exception of the St. Joe Storm disaster) ended down the crapper.
The sad part about all this is the Iowa franchise is actually on sound footing, but being in Council Bluffs, just a stone throw across the Missouri River from Omaha, may not have a league to play in -- not enough jack to join af2 and would interfere with protected territory of Omaha Beef, and let's face it NIFL and AIFL wouldn't be any better than the league they were in.
(That light bulb of my marketing genuis just lit up) You know ESPN had to cancel it's soap opera about the lives of a fictional NFL football team under NFL pressure. Maybe they need to do a soap (or sitcom) on a fictional indoor football team (think "WKRP in Cincinnati" for football).

I don't know all the standings or scores offhand (and I know there are some APFL followers around here who do) but here are the championship game results:
2003 Kansas def. Missouri
2004 Kansas def. Missouri
2005 Kansas def. Iowa
In the first two years, Kansas and Missouri were the sole teams to finish the season and got together for the championship game. In 2005 everybody finished the season but the Nebraska BEARS, which folded late. In the playoffs that year, Iowa beat Wichita in the semifinals.
Kansas was unbeaten until this year.

Thank you for your informations.
I still hope that one the APFL followers you talked about wanna find a couple of minutes to gimme the standings and playoffs result.
However a league commissioner who also owned 2 teams is something strange and it's a guarantee of problems, in my opinion.

He wasn't technically the league commissioner this season, but that's why a lot of the problems at the end of the season happened.
