Louis is today at a special meeting of the Speedway Promoters' Association in Rugby when he will be seeking clarification over the complicated rolling averages rule that is proving detrimental to Witches team-building plans.
Ipswich have so far confirmed Scott Nicholls, Jarek Hampel, Paul Hurry, Tom P Madsen and Danny Bird as certain starters and they will begin working on the remainder of their side next week.
The make-up of the Sky Sports Elite League should become clearer after today's meeting. Nigel Wagstaff is set to move from King's Lynn to take over at Oxford, making eight clubs – one less than in 2002.
Former Lynn promoter Keith Chapman, the owner of Norfolk Arena in Saddlebow Road, is likely to take control of the club and run in the Premier League.
British Speedway chairman Chris Van Straaten said: "An agreement is in place for Oxford to continue in the Elite League and King's Lynn's application for Premier League membership will be considered at our special meeting."
