This committee shall be bound by the same policies governing any other PFL standing committee.

VI. Unfinished Business

The agenda for the Owners meeting was set. Some items the council plans to discuss: Season recap (scores and results from the playoffs) Awards presentations, Specific recommendations to committees, communications via the internet.

The Executive Council will present a plan to eliminate game forfeiters for discussion, and submission to the competition committee for further study.

Discussion ensued on concerns regarding the hosting of events and the lack of attendance at the PFL SuperBowl III.

The Deadlines for ownership changes and applications for new franchises have been set. Midnight October 31 is the deadline for owners to submit their team changes to THE LEAGUE office. The Executive Director will have a list of the owners with first right of refusal at the owners meeting. Midnight December 31 will be the deadline for applications for expansion franchises to be submitted to THE LEAGUE office.

A reminder to all members, that Elections for officers will be held at the next owners meeting.

VII. New Business

The Executive Director, as director of scheduling for THE LEAGUE, announced that because of logistical concerns, that Sunday's would be the only appropriate night for League Play. Rationale - with the current number of teams in The PFL, and THE LEAGUE expected to expand to 18 plus teams, to start games after 4:00 PM would not be in the best interest of THE LEAGUE (games would end at 10:30 - 11:30 PM on a Thurs night?). Sunday provides the best day for players to arrive at the arena for 4:00 PM games. Thus, the Executive Director strongly suggest that Sunday nights be adopted as the official League night.

MOTION - Womack/Allen - That Sunday nights be the official League night for PFL play, and that Bru's room remain the host of PFL events. -- PASSED

The Executive Director in conjunction with the Commissioner & the Deputy Commissioner is currently studying the PFL Constitution & By-Laws for revisions of policies that are ineffective, or not being used.

VIII. Good of the Association

The Madden Games Tournament in Atlanta was lightly discussed.
