Shells Outleverage Mingos

In Rainbow/Season 21, the Milwaukee Flamingos wrapped up the regular season with a minor humiliation: being beat out by the Detroit Grape Chews at the last minute for the division title. Entering the postseason as the #3 seed, right behind the #2 seeded Grape Chews, the Flamingos decided the Chews were losers anyway, so why not let it all loose? The Mingos spread their wings, and deployed a reckless, all-in strategy.

Unbeknownst to the Flamingos, the Delaware Corporate Shells had managed to sneak a Rule 1074-B form under the door of the Golly Front Office at 4:59 PM the day before the series began, which was subsequently processed and implemented a rule change for the Series enabling the Shells to leverage 2X the performance of the best-performing team. This gave the Shells a glide path to a pennant.

The Mingos, despite being out-leveraged by the Shells, still managed to grab a Rainbow Cup spot by absolutely trouncing Detroit, in a show of spite.
