In what would come to be known as the Deal with the Devil (technically a misnomer, since it was an ultimatum rather than a deal that was made), the Golly Commissioner (the metaphorical Devil) declared that the territorial conflict between the Sand City Sidewinders and the Seaside Swashbucklers had to be solved using drastic measures. The Commissioner had decided that one of the teams would be permitted to stay in the league, and one of the teams would disappear forever, incinerated into ash and blown into the sea by the wind. Which team stayed and which team was incinerated would depend on the teams' performance.

Pseudo/Season 20 was given as the date of the decision.
