The London Monarchs, who eventually were champs in the League's inaugural season, ruled the Frankfurt Galaxy team coached by John Elway's father Jack 24-11. The Sacramento Surge overcame the Raleigh-Durham Skyhawks coached by Roman Gabriel 9-3. And according to the Stats Crew website finally the Montreal Machine extinguished the Birmingham Fire team coached by Chan Gailey 20-5.
