Teams
For 2013, the IFL maintained its two-conference no-divisions format with each team scheduled to play 14 games during the 16-week regular season. The league contracted from 16 teams to just nine with the Bloomington Edge, Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, Omaha Beef, Reading Express, Everett Raptors, New Mexico Stars, and Wichita Wild either folding, hibernating, or moving to a different league. A new team, the Cheyenne Warriors were expected to join the league for 2013 until the death of the team's owner in late December 2012. The Texas-based Allen Wranglers changed ownership and became the Texas Revolution.
Personnel
Robert Loving served as interim commissioner of the IFL in 2012 after Tommy Benizio left mid-season to pursue other opportunities. Benizio is now president of the Texas Revolution, the IFL franchise based in Allen, Texas. Loving was officially named as the IFL's commissioner by the league's board of directors during the 2012 annual league meetings.
For 2013, Michael Allshouse is Director of Football Operations, Sean Whitmire is Director of Communications/Team Services, and Tom Falcinelli is the Director of Officiating.
