Knife Fight in a Phone Booth

The Knife Fight in a Phone Booth is an incident that took place over the course of the 9 games of the Rainbow/Season 19 Unwest Championship Series that involved the Sugar Grove Eavesdroppers , Milwaukee Flamingos , Alewife Arsonists , and Tucson Butchers .

In Rainbow/Season 19, the Milwaukee Flamingos reached the postseason, entering the Unwest Championship Series with one eye on the West Championship Series (which their Valentines Day Series lovers, the Tucson Butchers , were dominating). The Flamingos became increasingly desperate for a spot in the Rainbow Cup, quickly falling behind the Sugar Grove Eavesdroppers and ending up in a Knife Fight in a Phone Booth with the Alewife Arsonists for second place and a spot in the Rainbow Cup.

In a desperate Game 7 gamble, the Flamingos attempted a formation from their "in case of emergency only" playbook - a formation so hare-brained, no one thought it would ever work, but also so hare-brained, no one had ever seen anything like it before. The Mingos formation performed a confused "patootie pootie" spiral around the Arsonists, seemed to stall, but then began to bloom into a beautiful explosion of pink, giving the Mingos a 1🌈 margin over the Arsonists, and a ticket to the Rainbow Cup, in the final Unwest Championship Series tally.
