The Riverpoint Royals would play for 4 full seasons in the NECBL... twice as long as the Rhode Island Reds. In the end however, the Royals couldn't pull in a steady enough fan base. The 2004 NECBL had played with an odd amount of teams... 13. Scheduling as you can imagine wasn't very easy. 1 team would be eliminated from the NECBL for the 2005 season.
