The Fargo Flea Flickers experienced an even year curse running from Rainbow/Season 14 through Rainbow/Season 18. The Flickers were a dominant team, repeatedly making it to the postseason Championship Series, securing a spot in the Rainbow Cup series, and making a strong showing - but also repeatedly coming up just a little short.

• In Rainbow/Season 14, the Flickers edged out the Louisville Illusionists for the second place spot in the Rainbow Cup series. They won a three-way scrap for second place, but the Grand Junction Conjunctions ran away with it, coming out 14🌈 ahead of Fargo.

• In Rainbow/Season 16, the Flickers managed to survive a brutal Championship Series beating by the Louisville Illusionists and secure the second place spot in the Rainbow Cup series. They tussled with the Illusionists in an intense battle for second place, securing it in the final game of the series, but once again, the victorious Seattle Sneakers ran away with it, coming out 8🌈 ahead of Fargo.

• In Rainbow/Season 18, the Flickers were certain they had a lock on the series. They had easily run circles around the second place Mobile Wheels , and early on in the Rainbow Cup series it was a two-way race between the Flickers and the Wheels. But in a legendary upset, the Flickers were bamboozled out of first place by the Wheels, who managed to keep a little in the tank and used it wisely to come out ahead of the Flickers in the final Rainbow tally.
