Rainbow/Season 3 marked the first real chapter in the Fargo Flea Flickers - Louisville Illusionists rivalry. The Flickers dominated the League Championship Series, beating out the Illusionists, who still managed to make it to the Rainbow Cup series through their second-place finish - in a photo finish in the final game of the 7-game series, the Illusionists nosed ahead of the doomed Detroit Grape Chews to make it in.

The Flickers, who got off to a poor start and lagged far behind the pack in the first few games, shocked the world by rocketing back into contention. In a gritty back-and-forth between Fargo and Louisville for second place, the final finish was anything but certain. Fargo surged in the final games of the series, secured the series win, and brought home the first-ever franchise Cup to Fargo. Their mighty struggle with their rival Illusionists was the stuff of postseason legends.
